Who we are
Our official website address is: https://bk8ie.com/en. We are fully committed to protecting and maintaining the privacy of our members with the highest security standards.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist in fraud and spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to verify if you are utilizing it. (The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/). Following approval of your comment, your profile picture will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should strictly avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Other visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images hosted on the site.
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 securely placed 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 automatically discarded when you close your browser display.
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 session will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be immediately 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 target website directly.
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 possess an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your current IP address will be included in the reset email for verified security verification purposes.
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, we securely store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal data at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also view and update that information safely.
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 verified through an automated spam detection service to filter unwanted content and maintain platform integrity.
