Who we are

Our website address is: https://abchase.me

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data including the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created (also called a hash) may be provided to the Google Analytics service to see if you are using it. The Google privacy policy is available at: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Media

Visitors to the website are not allowed to download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

Cookies are for convenience and traffic monitoring purposes. Individuals are not tracked by abchase.me but may be covered under the Google Privacy Policy as we use Google Analytics to generate user visit statistics. These cookies will last for one year.

If you our site, 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.

If logged 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.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

But let’s just say that logging in, editing, or publishing simply won’t happen. This site is not intended to maintain users. Not even comments.

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

abchase.me will not share user data, simply because we do not have user data. Any information collected is anonymized, and applied to under Google’s Privacy Policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

How long we retain your data

If you are able to 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.

For users who are registered on our website (if any), we also 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.

What rights you have over your data

If you do 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 your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Any other information collected is anonymized, and applied to under Google’s Privacy Policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy. We do not maintain or control this data.
