Privacy Policy

Who We Are

Our website address is https://afrosintech.com.

Comments

When you leave comments on our site, we collect the information you provide in the comments form. Additionally, we automatically collect your IP address and browser user agent string to help us detect and prevent spam.

An anonymized string, generated from your email address (referred to as a hash), may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you have a Gravatar profile. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy can be found here: Gravatar Privacy Policy. If your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public alongside your comment.

Media

If you upload images to our website, please refrain from including images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to our website have the ability to download and extract location data from images on the site.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you can choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience. These cookies will eliminate the need to re-enter your information when leaving subsequent comments, and they will remain active for one year.

When you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This particular cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

Upon logging in, we will establish several cookies to save your login information and your screen display preferences. Login cookies will persist for two days, while screen options cookies will remain active for one year. If you select the “Remember Me” option during login, your login status will be retained for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

When you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and merely indicates the post ID of the article you have edited. It will expire after 1 day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on our site may include embedded content such as videos, images, and articles. Embedded content from other websites functions in the same way as if you had visited the other website directly.

These external websites may collect data about you, utilize cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content. This includes tracking your interactions even if you have an account and are logged in to that external 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, both the comment itself and its associated metadata are retained indefinitely. This enables us to recognize and automatically approve any subsequent comments, rather than holding them for moderation.

For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. All users have the ability to view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, with the exception of the username, which cannot be changed. Website administrators also have access to view and edit this information.

Your Data Rights

If you have an account on our site or have left comments, you have the right to request an exported file containing the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request the deletion of any personal data we hold about you. Please note that this does not include data we are obliged to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be subject to automated spam detection through our spam detection service.

For further inquiries or requests related to your data, please don’t hesitate to contact us at privacypolicy@afrosintech.com.
