What personal data we collect and why we collect it
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. 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.
Contact forms: We collect the information you provide in our contact forms (such as your name and email address) solely to respond to your inquiries.
Cookies:
Essential Cookies: These are necessary for the basic functionality and security of the website and are enabled by default to ensure the site operates correctly. This includes security services such as Google reCAPTCHA, which protects our website from automated spam and bot activity.
Optional Tracking: Analytics and performance tools (e.g., Google Analytics) are only active if you explicitly provide consent through our Privacy & Consent interface. You can manage or withdraw your consent at any time via the settings link in the website footer.
Functional Cookies: If you leave a comment or log in, we use temporary cookies to save your information for your convenience. These cookies vary in duration from session-based to one year, depending on the specific function.
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.
Analytics We use Google Analytics to analyze site performance and usage patterns. This data is only collected if you provide explicit consent through our Privacy & Consent interface.
Who we share your data with We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with third-party service providers that assist us in operating our website and conducting our business (e.g., security services, analytics providers), provided that these parties agree to keep this information confidential and compliant with applicable privacy laws.
How long we retain your data If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. For users that register on our website, we 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).
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, or 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. Contact info@simetri.us
Where we send your data Visitor comments and form submissions may be checked through an automated spam detection service (Google reCAPTCHA).
How we protect your data We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your information from unauthorized access, misuse, or alteration.
