Who We Are

Our website address is: https://aiedcollective.com.

Comments

When you leave comments on our site, we collect the data you enter in the comments form. In addition, we gather your IP address and browser user agent string to help us detect and prevent spam.

An anonymized string, also called a hash, may be created from your email address. We may provide this hash to the Gravatar service to check if you are a user. You can find the Gravatar service privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Consequently, after we approve your comment, your profile picture becomes publicly visible within the context of your comment.

Media

If you choose to upload images to the website, you should avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). This is because any visitor to the website can potentially download your images and extract this location data.

Cookies

When you leave a comment on our site, you have the option to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience, so you won’t have to re-enter your details for future comments. These particular cookies will last for one year.

Additionally, if you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts them. This cookie contains no personal data and we discard it as soon as you close your browser.

When you log in, we also set up several cookies to save your login information and screen display choices. Specifically, login cookies last for two days, while screen options cookies last for a year. If you select the “Remember Me” option, your login will remain active for two weeks. However, the login cookies are removed as soon as you log out of your account.

Furthermore, if you edit or publish an article, your browser will save an additional cookie. This cookie contains no personal data; instead, it simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited and expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content, for instance, videos, images, or other articles. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you had visited that other website directly.

Therefore, these external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that content. This includes tracking your interaction with the embedded content, especially if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, the reset email will include your IP address. It’s important to note that only aiedcollective has access to this email facility.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, we retain the comment and its metadata indefinitely. We do this to automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who 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 personal information at any time, although they cannot change their username. Website administrators can also see and edit that user information.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, which includes any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. However, this does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent

To help keep our site secure, an automated spam detection service may check visitor comments.
