Your Personal Data and Why We Collect It
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Contact and E-Commerce Forms
We keep contact form submissions for a certain period of time for customer service purposes, and for communicating with our customers and visitors via email.
What We Do With Your Personal Information
Any information collected via this website is used solely for the purpose of providing our users with a quality, online experience. We will never share or sell your contact or personal information with any third party.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles and media on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Comments and Other Interactions with Our Website
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their own personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information. Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
How We Protect Your Data
An automatic payment gateway is an application that securely requests information from customers and relays it to a third-party payment processing service, e.g., A credit card processor, Stripe, or PayPal.
By design, your credit card number and security code are never stored on our website. The payment gateway gives this sensitive information directly to the payment processor. Credit card data never enters or passes through our website’s database. Our customers do have the option to “store” credit cards or eChecks on this site via a secure method called tokenization. Tokenized payment methods can be used for subscriptions, pre-orders, and for convenience in future purchases by the logged-in customer.
How Secure is Tokenization?
Extremely. With tokenization, customers’ actual credit card information is stored on the servers of the payment processor. The only data saved on your site is in the form of a string of characters called a token. These tokens are designed to be useless outside the precise context they’re created for. Imagine if, when you exchanged your money for chips at a casino or ride tickets at a fair, those chips or tickets not only couldn’t be spent on anything outside the casino or fair but couldn’t be spent by anyone but you. Tokens are super-specific — specific to the customer, specific to our website, specific to the payment gateway’s payment processor, and specific to your merchant account with that processor. If any of those factors aren’t precise, the token won’t work as a placeholder for a customer’s payment information. Many gateways that allow tokenization also require the customer to enter their Card Security Code for each new purchase.
