Privacy Policy

Your privacy and the security of your personal information are very important to us. We want you to be as comfortable as possible visiting our Website. We are dedicated to protecting the privacy of those who visit our Website. This Privacy Policy governs the anequim.net website (our “Website”) and explains how we collect your personal information on our Website, how we protect such information, and the choices you have concerning the use of such information. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. Except as we disclose in this Privacy Policy or as specially agreed by you, we will not sell, share, license, trade, or rent your personal information to others.
We may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post any changes to this Privacy Policy here so that you will always know what information we gather, how we might use that information, and whether we will disclose that information to anyone. Please refer back to this Privacy Policy on a regular basis. By using our Website or any of our features, tools or resources that we provide on our Website, including without limitation, any fee-based products or offerings, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

What types of personal information do you collect and how do you use it?

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, personal information is considered to be “any information that can be used to uniquely identify you or that can be reasonably linked, directly or indirectly, with you.” The specific pieces of personal information we collect about you depends on how you use our Website and what services you subscribe to. However, the general categories of personal information we collect about you are “Account Data” and “Usage Data,” which are more particularly described as follows:

Account Data

Account Data is information that we collect about you when you inquire about or subscribe to our products and services. This type of information typically includes name, email address, phone number, mailing address and payment information, and enables us to contact you for purposes such as discussing your interest in our products and services, creating an account for you to access our online services. Once your account has been created, additional information about you, such as account and communication preferences, may also be requested to enable you to configure and personalize your account. Whether you provide this additional information is up to you. You can choose what additional information you wish to provide, make changes to existing information, and to opt-out of future communications at any time by updating your account preferences.

Usage Data

Usage Data is information that we collect about you regarding your use of our Website, and typically includes online identifiers such as IP addresses, MAC addresses, and “cookie” data (see below for more information on cookies). Such Usage Data generally by itself cannot be used to identify or contact you. We may also collect information regarding the types of devices you are using to access the Website, including device type, browser type, operating system and language settings. In addition, we may collect information related to the Website pages you visit, including the date, time, and length of your page visit, and information about which internet services provider you use and how you use it.

Usage Data helps us to optimize the design and operation of our Website to best suit your needs and interests. It also helps us to diagnose, troubleshoot, and fix any technical issues involving our Website.

We also collect Usage Data passively using “cookies.” A cookie is a small text file that is stored on your computer and makes it easy for you to move around a website without having to continually re-enter information such as your username, password, preferences, and so on. We use cookies to store our Website users’ preferences, record user-specific information including what pages they visit or access, customize the web page content based on users’ browser type, and to enhance your overall user experience. We may also use cookies for advertising purposes. In such instances, a unique ad-serving cookie will be placed on your computer by us or one of our advertising partners. Other Usage Data may also be collected to inform, optimize, and deliver targeted ads to you.

Do you share personal information?

Except as we disclose in this Privacy Policy or as specially agreed by you, we will not sell, share, license, trade, or rent your personal information to others.

We may also disclose your personal information if we believe in good faith that we are required to do so in order to comply with an applicable statute, regulation, rule of law, a subpoena, a search warrant, a court or regulatory order, or other valid legal processes. We may disclose personal information in special circumstances when we have reason to believe that disclosing such information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone when necessary to protect the safety and/or security of our users, our Website or the general public.

We may provide to third parties personal information about you that does not allow you to be identified or contacted (such as Usage Data), including where such personal information is combined with similar information of other users of our Website. For example, we might inform third parties regarding the number of unique users who visit our Website, the demographic breakdown of our registered user of our Website, or the activities that visitors to our Website engage in while on our Website. The third parties to which we may provide this information may include potential or actual advertisers, providers of advertising services (including website tracking services), commercial partners, sponsors, licensees, researchers and other similar parties.

How long do you retain personal information and how do you protect it?

Protecting the confidentiality of any personal information we have collected about you is of the utmost importance to us. We retain your personal information for only as long as necessary to satisfy legitimate and essential business purposes such as maintaining the performance and availability of our Website and services we provide, complying with legal obligations, and resolving any disputes.

We also implement and maintain appropriate technical and operational controls (including encryption and access control measures) to protect your personal information while it is stored on our systems. However, despite such controls, no system or data transmission is ever completely secure. While we make all reasonable efforts to protect the confidentiality of the personal information we collect about you, we make no guarantees, representations, or warranties with respect to the security of your personal information during storage or transmission.

Most of the personal information we collect about you is associated with your Website user account. To help protect your account, we encourage you to use a strong password that is unique to your use of our Website, never share your password with anyone, never store your password in an insecure location or manner, and logout of your account when you are finished using our Website. If you suspect that your password may have been compromised or that your account has been used in an unauthorized manner, we recommend you change your account password immediately. If you require any assistance with changing your account password, please contact us using the information and methods provided in the “How to Contact Us” section of this Privacy Policy.

Can I update, delete, or correct my personal information?

You can always contact us in order to (1) update or correct your personal information, (2) change your preferences with respect to communications and other information you receive from us, or (3) delete the personal information maintained about you on our systems, by contacting us using the information and methods provided in the “How to Contact Us” section of this Privacy Policy. Such updates, corrections, changes, and deletions will not have an effect on other information that we maintain, or information that we have provided to third parties in accordance with this Privacy Policy prior to such update, correction, change or deletion.

You should be aware that it is not possible to remove each and every record of the information you have provided to us from our system. The need to back-up our systems to protect information from inadvertent loss means that a copy of your personal information may exist in a non-erasable form that will be difficult or impossible for us to locate. In addition, certain Usage Data that does not contain information that identifies you cannot be deleted or modified at your request since it is impossible to identify and isolate your Usage Data from the Usage Data of others.

Does your website collect information from children under 13 years old of age?

Our Website is not designed for our intended use by children under 13 years of age. We would never knowingly collect personal information from or about children under the age of 13. If you are under 13 years of age, please do not use our Website or provide any of your personal information to us.

If you are a parent of a child under the age of 13 and become aware that your child may have provided their personal information to us, please contact us using the information and methods provided in the “How to Contact Us” section of this Privacy Policy and we will delete the information about the child from our files.

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.

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.

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 leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely.

Plugin: Smush

Note: Smush does not interact with end users on your website. The only input option Smush has is a newsletter subscription for site admins only. If you would like to notify your users of this in your privacy policy, you can use the information below.

Smush sends images to the WPMU DEV servers to optimize them for web use. This includes the transfer of EXIF data. The EXIF data will either be stripped or returned as it is. It is not stored on the WPMU DEV servers.

Smush uses the Stackpath Content Delivery Network (CDN). Stackpath may store web log information of site visitors, including IPs, UA, referrer, Location, and ISP info of site visitors for 7 days. Files and images served by the CDN may be stored and served from countries other than your own. Stackpath’s privacy policy can be found here.

We collect information about visitors who comment on Sites that use our Akismet anti-spam service. The information we collect depends on how the User sets up Akismet for the Site, but typically includes the commenter’s IP address, user agent, referrer, and Site URL (along with other information directly provided by the commenter such as their name, username, email address, and the comment itself).
