Comments

When you leave comments on Vittafemme.com, we collect the data shown in the comments form. Additionally, we capture your IP address and browser user agent string to help detect and prevent spam. This information facilitates a smoother user experience and ensures the integrity of our discussions.

An anonymized string (also known as a hash) may be created from your email address and provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here. Upon the 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. This could potentially expose personal location information, so we recommend that users remove any geotagging from their images before uploading them to protect their privacy.

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.

In addition to comment cookies, we use cookies to personalize content and ads, provide social media features, and analyze our traffic. We also share information about your use of our site with our social media, advertising, and analytics partners who may combine it with other information that you’ve provided to them or that they’ve collected from your use of their services.

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.

Vittafemme.com does not share your personal data with any third-party entities without your explicit consent, except as necessary to provide our services or as required by law. This includes sharing data for the purposes of processing payments, conducting security checks, or complying with legal obligations.

We may also share data with third-party service providers who assist us with various aspects of our operations, including web hosting, data analysis, email delivery, and marketing assistance. These providers are obligated under contract to keep your information confidential and secure and to use it only as necessary to perform their contractual duties.

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. This helps facilitate an ongoing conversation without the need to delay for manual approval.

For users that register on our website, we 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. This data is maintained to continuously provide user access to their profiles and history on the site.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you have the right to request 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 delete any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obligated to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

You have the right to request corrections to any incorrect data we hold about you and may object to the processing of your data under certain circumstances. If you believe your data has been processed unlawfully, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service to prevent malicious content. This process involves sending the data provided in the comments, such as usernames, email addresses, and the comment itself, to our spam detection service provider.

In addition to spam detection, data necessary for the operation of our website, such as user registration information, may be stored and processed through third-party services and data centers in various locations around the world. These transfers are done to ensure the efficient and secure operation of our services, adhering to legal standards and privacy commitments.
