Privacy Policy

Who We Are:

Our website address is: https://gdi-consulting.com

Comments:

When a visitor leaves a comment on the site, we collect the data shown in the comment form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user-agent data to help detect spam.

An anonymized string created from your email address (a “hash”) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture will be visible publicly in the context of your comment.

Media Files:

If you are a registered user and upload photos to the site, you may want to avoid uploading images with EXIF metadata, as this may contain your GPS location data. Visitors can extract this information by downloading images from the site.

Cookies:

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is 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 have an account on the site and log in, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain any personal information and is deleted when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set several cookies with login information and screen settings. Login cookies last for two days, while screen settings cookies last for one year. If you select the “Remember Me” option, your login information will be stored for two weeks. When you log out, the login cookies will be removed.

When editing or publishing an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie does not contain personal data and only contains the ID of the record you edited, expiring 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 same way as if the visitor had visited the other site.

These sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional tracking by third parties, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that site.

Who We Share Your Data With:

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

How Long We Retain Your Data:

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is done to recognize and approve subsequent comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For registered users on our site, we store the personal information they provide in their profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their profile information at any time (except for the username). The website administration can also see and edit this information.

Your Rights Regarding Your Data:

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

Where Your Data Is Sent:

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