What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the website 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.

Contact forms

When you write a message using the contact form here, you provide an email address, a name (optional) and a message that may contain private information.

Newsletter provider

We use a third party app to provide newsletter services. All data is collected on their platform, so their privacy policy applies when you sign up to receive emails from us.

Location information for VAT purposes

In order to serve customers from EU and provide digital goods at the rate specific for the country of the customer, certain information is required, which is automatically retrieved using a plugin. This plugin can:

  • Identify customers’ location.
  • Collect at least two non-contradictory pieces of evidence about the determined location.
  • Apply the correct VAT rate.
  • Ensure that VAT numbers used for B2B transactions are valid before applying VAT exemption.
  • Collect all the data required to prepare VAT returns.

This information is stored only until the purchase is finalized. The resulting data is anonymized and used to generate reports for tax purposes. No identifiable information for the customer is kept in the process.

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.

Third party cookies

Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies on this website to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.

Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve you ads based on your visit to this website and/or other websites on the Internet.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Ads Settings or you could opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

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.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics for monitoring visitors and their activity on this website. Read more about the data practices of Google Analytics here.

There are no tracked events on this website, only basic visitor information that is saved using the Google Analytics cookies. You can decline the placement of cookies or of Google Analytics cookies specifically.

Types of Analytics cookies

We only use First-party Cookies, as defined in the document linked above, regarding the data practices of Google Analytics.

Since there are no ads on this website, there are no Advertising identifiers.

Google Analytics also uses your IP address for geolocation services.

Who we share your data with

We don’t share your data with any third party.

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.

If you create a user profile, we also store the personal information you provide in your 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 we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Your contact information

We only use your contact information (which you provide when placing your order) for fulfilling the orders you place to the best of our abilities. We do not send unsolicited email (spam) to the address you provide either in the comments form, in the contact form or in the order form.

Additional information

How we protect your data

Your data is protected by several security layers. It arrives to our servers encrypted (the website is only available over HTTPS/TLS – read more about TLS and HTTPS here) and during and after arriving on our server it is protected using security technology from Cloudflare – read more about Cloudflare here.

What third parties we receive data from

Aside from the analytics data discussed above, we don’t receive data from any third parties – about you or your activity on the internet.

What automated decision making and/or profiling we do with user data

Except for the spam filters, we don’t have any automated decision making at the moment. We don’t do profiling with user data.

Industry regulatory disclosure requirements

We have no industry regulatory disclosure requirements.
