We may need to process your data or share your personal information in the following situations:

If you post a comment. 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 personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

We may share your data with third-party vendors, consultants, service providers, contractors or agents who perform services for us or on our behalf and require access to such information to do that work. Examples may include but are not limited to payment processing, data analysis, email delivery, hosting services, customer service, and marketing efforts. We may allow selected third parties to use tracking technology on our services which will enable them to collect data about how you interact with the services over time. This information may be used to analyze and track data, determine the popularity of certain content, and better understand online activity. Unless described in this policy, we do not share, sell, rent, or trade any of your information with third parties for their promotional purposes.

Business transfers. We may share or transfer your information in connection with or during negotiation of any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company.

Third-Party Advertisers. We may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our services. These companies may use information about your visit to our websites and other websites that are contained in web cookies and other tracking technologies to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.

We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies, (e.g., web beacons and pixels), to access or store information.

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 login, 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.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.

Additional information about how we use such technologies and how you can refuse cookies is set forth in the What Are Your Privacy Rights section below.

Articles 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.

We only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in these legal notices and policies unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law – for tax, accounting, or other legal requirements. No purpose in this policy will require us to keep your personal information for longer than the period in which users have an account with us.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it, or if this is not possible, because your personal information may be stored in backup archives, we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

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

Account information. If you would like to review or change the information in your account or terminate your account, you can login to your account settings and update your user information. Upon your request to terminate your account we will deactivate or delete your account and information from our active database. However, some information may be retained in our files to prevent fraud, troubleshoot problems, assist with investigations, enforce our Terms of Use, or comply with legal requirements.

Cookies (and similar technologies). Web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove and/or reject cookies. If you choose to remove or reject cookies this could affect certain features of our services.
