This privacy policy is intended to explain to you, a visitor to our website, where and in which ways we may be asking you to provide personal data while you are using the website.
Who we are

Comments
Our website may allow users to leave comments on the site. In order to be able to manage and reduce the occurrence of spam comment messages, we may choose to require users to register a user account before being able to submit such 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 with 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.
Contact Form Messages
Our website allows users to use contact forms to send messages to us. If you choose to use this functionality to contact us, we collect the data you enter into the contact form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
Newsletter Subscription Data
Our website allows users to use a form to subscribe to newsletters that we periodically send out. If you choose this functionality to contact us, we collect your email address, which will solely be used for the purpose of sending newsletters to you. With every newsletter you will be given the option to unsubscribe from the newsletter.
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 data you entererd and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise 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.
If you contact us via a contact form, the data you entered and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can process your message as is appropriate, respond to your requests and report any contacts made in aggregate statistical form to funding bodies supporting our project.
If you sign up to our newsletter, the email address you entered during sign up will be retained until you unsubscribe from our newsletter. This is so we can send our newsletter to you via email.
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.
Please direct any requests relating to your rights to the contact listed on our Contacts page or email us directly at webmaster@ai4sweng.eu.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
