Privacy Policy

Updated 3 July 2023

Introduction

Welcome to FoundAItion’s website. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information we collect, how we use it, and the steps we take to protect your personal information.

Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

  • Personal Information: names, email addresses, and phone numbers when voluntarily submitted by our visitors.
  • Non-personal Information: browser type, operating system, and IP address, collected automatically when you use our site.
  • Other information listed below.

How We Use Information

We may use the collected information for:

  • Personalizing your experience on our site
  • Responding to your inquiries or requests
  • Sending you newsletters or promotional material (with your consent)
  • Improving our website’s performance and user-friendliness

Comments And Documents

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.

We reserve the right to review all documents submitted via the website. Based on our evaluation, we may either delete, disregard, or forward them to the relevant party.

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

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.

Security

We employ standard security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

Changes to this Policy

We may periodically update this Privacy Policy. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
