PRIVACY POLICY

1. About us

Our website address is: https://autoritas.net.

2. What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Feedback

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data displayed in the comment form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist in spam detection.

An anonymous string created from your email address (also known as hash) can be provided to the Gravatar service to verify if you are using it. The privacy policy for the Gravatar service is available at: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the web, avoid including location data (GPS EXIF metadata), as visitors can download them and extract this information.

Contact Forms

The data provided through the contact form is only used to automate the sending of e-mails and to respond to requests received. It is not stored in databases and no record of this information is kept once the request has been answered.

Cookies

  • If you leave a comment on our site, you can choose to save your name, email address and website in cookies. These last for one year and are for your convenience, saving you from having to fill in your details again.
  • If you have an account and log in to the site, a temporary cookie will be set to check whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain any personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.
  • When you log in, we set cookies to store your login information and your screen display options. Login cookies last for two days and display options cookies last for one year. If you select ‘Remember me’, your session will remain active for two weeks. When you log out, these cookies are deleted.
  • If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser to record the ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (such as videos, images or articles). Content embedded from other websites behaves as if the visitor had accessed the originating website directly. These sites may collect data about you, use cookies, implement third-party tracking and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, especially if you have an account and are logged in to that site.

Analytic

We use Google Analytics and Matomo Analytics to collect data about visits and length of stay on our website. This allows us to improve the user experience and optimise content.

3. Who we share your data with

We do not share your personal data with third parties, except as described in this privacy policy or as necessary to comply with legal obligations.

4. How long we keep your data

  • If you leave a comment, it and its metadata are retained indefinitely to allow automatic approval of future comments, rather than being held in a moderation queue.
  • For registered users (if any), we store the personal information they provide in their profile. Users can view, edit or delete their personal information at any time (except for the username). Site administrators also have access to this information.

5. What rights you have over your data

If you have an account or have left comments on this website, you may request an export file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You may also request deletion of your personal data, except for data that we are required to retain for administrative, legal or security reasons.

6. Where we send your data

Visitors comments may be checked by an automatic spam detection service.

7. Your contact information

If you need more information, you can contact us at: autoritas@autoritas.es o or complete our contact form.
