Introduction
Welcome to Diabetesblog. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, share, and safeguard your data when you visit our website.
Please take a moment to review this Privacy Policy carefully. By using or accessing our website, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not use our website.
Information We Collect
We may collect various types of information, including:
Personal Information: When you voluntarily provide it to us, such as when you subscribe to our newsletter, participate in surveys, or contact us through our website, we may collect personal information, including but not limited to your name, email address, and any other information you choose to provide.
Usage Information: We automatically collect information about your interactions with our website, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and pages visited. This information helps us improve our website and understand how visitors use it.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site 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.
Cookies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience and collect information about your preferences and activities on our website. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings.
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.
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.
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
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
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.
For users that register 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 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.
Information Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. However, we may share your information in the following situations:
- With our trusted service providers and partners who assist us in operating our website or providing services to you.
- To comply with legal obligations, such as responding to lawful requests, court orders, or legal processes.
- To protect our rights, privacy, safety, or property, and that of our users or the public.
Data Security
We employ reasonable security measures to protect your personal information. However, no data transmission over the internet or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Please be aware that we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data.
Your Choices
You have certain rights regarding your personal information, including the right to access, correct, delete, or limit its use. You may also choose to unsubscribe from our communications at any time by following the instructions provided in our emails.
