PRIVACY POLICY

 

Who we are

We are a group of business consultants and financial services professionals interested in helping people stay connected and work together online. Our passion is discovering and uncovering human genius and talent. We take your privacy seriously as transparency with your data is key.

What We Do

We store your account information, sell it to no one without your permission and write articles about businesses and websites for a fee.  We also provide business consulting and build websites for clients upon request.

What happens in my information is lost or stolen?

If your account information is lost with us… that is our loss and you can quickly establish a new page if it is taken down.  The only way your account information will be deleted is if our business is compromised.  The good news is we do not store your credit card information, that is done through Stripe and WooCommerce.  Our whole idea is that we want people to have the information you publish… and that our only liability is keeping articles and documents secure.

What happens if an article or document is taken down?

We store backups so they can be printed and republished if they are compromised in any way.  Worst case scenario, we will issue a full refund for the days and month(s) if your article is down during your subscription for more than 5 business days.  If a document that you uploaded is unpublished, it can be re-published by simply supplying another copy at no cost.

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

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are 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 discarded when you close your browser.

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 will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be 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 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

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, 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

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 checked through an automated spam detection service.
