Our website address is: https://goelsassociates.com.
Comments
When visitors post comments on our site, we gather the information from the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string, to aid in detecting and preventing spam.
An anonymized string generated from your email address (also known as a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. You can review the Gravatar service’s privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, please ensure they do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract location information from images.
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 won’t have to re-enter your details when leaving another comment. These cookies will remain active for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will place a temporary cookie to check if 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 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 stored in your browser. This cookie does not contain any personal data and only records the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may contain embedded content (such as videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites functions exactly as if you had visited those websites directly.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, and implement additional third-party tracking. They may also monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your activity if you have an account and are logged into 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, both the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically, rather than holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website, we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (though they cannot change their username). Website administrators also have access to view and edit this information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided. You can also request the deletion of any personal data we hold about you. However, this does not include data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security reasons.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
