Who we are

Suggested text: The website is operated by VANCOMS GROUP. Our website address is: https://www.vancoms.com.

Comments

Suggested text: When visitors submit comments, we collect the information displayed in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string, for the purposes of spam prevention, security, and service integrity.

If you provide an email address, an anonymized string generated from that email address (a “hash”) may be shared with the Gravatar service to determine whether you use that service. Gravatar’s privacy policy is available at: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if available) may be displayed publicly alongside your comment.

Media

Suggested text: If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors may be able to download and extract location data from images published on the website.

Cookies

Suggested text: If you leave a comment, you may opt in to storing your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience, so you do not need to re-enter these details for future comments. These cookies are retained for one year.

If you visit our login page, we may set a temporary cookie to verify whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.

When you log in, we set cookies to store your login session and screen display preferences. Login cookies are retained for two days, and screen preference cookies are retained for one year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login session will persist for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie may be stored in your browser. This cookie does not include personal data; it stores only the post ID of the edited article and expires after one day.

Embedded content from other websites

Suggested text: Articles on this website may include embedded content (such as videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from third-party websites behaves in the same way as if you visited the third-party website directly.

These third-party websites may collect information about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking technologies, and monitor your interactions with embedded content, including where you have an account with and are logged in to those third-party websites.

Who we share your data with

Suggested text: If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the password reset email as part of our security measures.

How long we retain your data

Suggested text: If you leave a comment, the comment and its associated metadata are retained indefinitely to enable us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically and to support security, audit, and continuity of service.

For users who register on our website (if any), we store the personal information provided in the user profile. Users can access, update, or delete their personal information at any time (except that usernames cannot be changed). Website administrators can also access and manage this information for account administration and site operations.

What rights you have over your data

Suggested text: If you have an account on this website or have submitted comments, you may request an exported copy of the personal data we hold about you, including the data you provided. You may also request that we erase personal data we hold about you. This does not include data we must retain for administrative, legal, regulatory, or security reasons.
