At Techi Nik, we understand the importance of privacy and are committed to safeguarding the personal information of our visitors. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information we collect and how we use and protect it.
Information We Collect
When you visit Techi Nik, we may collect personal information such as your name and email address if you choose to subscribe to our newsletter or leave comments on our posts. Additionally, we may collect non-personal information such as your IP address, browser type, and operating system for analytical purposes.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to improve your experience on Techi Nik, including personalizing content and responding to your inquiries. Your email address may be used to send you updates about new content or promotions, but you can opt out of these communications at any time.
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.
Third-Party Services
We may use third-party services, such as Google Analytics, to analyze traffic on Techi Nik. These services may collect information about your use of our website, but they do not have access to personally identifiable information unless you choose to provide it.
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.
Data Security
We take the security of your personal information seriously and have implemented measures to safeguard it from unauthorized access, disclosure, or alteration. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Updates to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable laws. We encourage you to review this page periodically for any updates.
By using Techi Nik, you consent to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy. If you have any questions or concerns about our privacy practices, please contact us at info@techinik.com
