Welcome to Sailsavant.com! We are committed to safeguarding your privacy and protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information while you visit our website.
Comments
When you leave comments on our website, we collect the data you provide in the comments form, your IP address, and browser user agent string to aid in spam detection.
Additionally, an anonymized string created from your email address (also known as a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine if you have a Gravatar account. Please refer to the Gravatar service privacy policy at https://automattic.com/privacy/ for more information. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if available) will be visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to our website, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS) in the images. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from the images on the site.
Cookies
When you leave a comment on our site, you have the option to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience, so you do not have to re-enter your details when leaving another comment. These cookies will remain valid for one year.
Upon visiting our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This temporary cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
Upon logging in, we will set up several cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies will remain valid for two days, and screen options cookies will remain valid for one year. If you select “Remember Me” during login, your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out of your account will remove the login cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and merely indicates the post ID of the article you recently edited. This cookie will expire after 1 day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on our site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles) from other websites. Embedded content behaves in the same manner as if you visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content. This tracking may occur even 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 for security purposes.
How long we retain your data
When you leave a comment on our website, the comment and its metadata will be retained indefinitely. This is done to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically, instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website (if any), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for their username. Website administrators can also view and edit this information.
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 erase any personal data we hold about you. However, please note that certain data may be retained for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service to ensure the security and integrity of our website.
