Information We Collect

Personally Identifiable Information

We may collect personally identifiable information from you, such as your name, email address, and other contact information when you voluntarily provide it to us through forms on our Site or by contacting us directly. We only collect this information when necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Non-Personally Identifiable Information

We may also collect non-personally identifiable information automatically as you navigate through our Site. This information may include your IP address, browser type, operating system, referral source, and other similar technical data. Additionally, we may use cookies or similar technologies to enhance your experience and gather information about your preferences and actions on our Site.

Use of Information

We may use the information we collect for various purposes, including:

  • Providing you with the services and information you request
  • Improving and personalizing the content and functionality of our Site
  • Sending you promotional materials or other communications related to our services
  • Analyzing trends and statistics

Comments

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.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

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.

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 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

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.

Who we share your data with

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How long we retain your data

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.

What rights you have over your data

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.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Disclosure of Information

We may disclose your information to third parties in the following circumstances:

  • With your consent or at your direction
  • To trusted service providers who help us operate our Site and provide the requested services
  • In response to a subpoena, court order, or other legal process
  • To protect the rights, property, or safety of Stay in Honor, our users, or others
  • In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, provided that the acquiring party agrees to safeguard your personal information

Third-Party Links

Our Site may contain links to third-party websites that are not operated or controlled by us. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third-party websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these websites before providing any personal information.
