Privacy Policy

Who we are

Our website address is: http://sh00299/cgi/addon_GT.cgi?s=GT::WP::Install::Cpanel+%28txpyzymy%29+-+127.0.0.1+%5Bnocaller%5D.

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

Our website uses cookies to improve user experience and analyse website traffic. You can control the use of cookies through your browser settings.

Embedded content from other websites

Suggested text: 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

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. Your data is only shared when necessary to provide our services, for example:

  • If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
  • With trusted service providers (such as hosting, payment, or email platforms) who help us operate our website or deliver services, under strict confidentiality and data protection agreements.
  • When required by law or to protect our legal rights.

In line with POPIA, we take all reasonable steps to ensure that any third party who receives your information processes it lawfully, securely, and only for the purpose for which it was shared.

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

Under POPIA, you have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you.
  • Correct or update your personal information if it is inaccurate or outdated.
  • Request deletion of your personal information when it is no longer required. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
  • Object to the processing of your personal information in certain circumstances. 

Where your data is sent

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