Who we are
Our website address is: https://sharpthinkit.com.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, the data entered in the comments form is saved, together with the IP address and the browser user agent string, to help with spam detection.
An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check whether you are using it. The Gravatar privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the site, you should avoid uploading images with embedded geolocation data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract geolocation data from images on the site.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you can choose to save your name, email address and website in cookies. This is for your convenience, so 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 the login page, a temporary cookie will be set to check whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.
When you log in, some cookies will be set to save your session information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for one year. If you select "Remember me", your session will persist for two weeks. When you log out, 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 only indicates the content ID of the article you have just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (for example, videos, images, articles and so on). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if the user had visited those websites.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking and monitor your interactions with them, including recording interactions with embedded content if you have an account and are logged in on that website.
Who your data is shared with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How long your data is retained
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are kept indefinitely. This is so that any following comments can be recognised and approved automatically, instead of being held in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website (if any), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit or delete their personal information at any time (except that 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 ask to receive an export file of the personal data we hold about you, including any personal data you have provided. You can also ask for the data we hold to be deleted. This does not include any personal 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.
