We are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy in compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information. If you have any questions regarding this privacy policy, please contact us at admin@ambassadeurfranco.org.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. The lawful basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest in protecting our website from spam and misuse.
An anonymised 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
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. The lawful basis for this processing is your consent.
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 one 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 if you have an account and are logged in to that website. We do not control these third-party websites, and you are encouraged to review their privacy policies.
Legal Basis for Processing Data
The legal basis for collecting and using the personal data described in this policy will depend on the specific context in which we collect it. Generally, we collect personal data to fulfill our legitimate interests (e.g., improving website services, ensuring security) or with your consent (e.g., registering, subscribing to newsletters).
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
We do not share your personal data with third parties except when required for compliance with legal obligations, the provision of services, or with your explicit consent.
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, 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.
Your rights over your data
Under the GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Access: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Rectification: You can request that we correct any inaccuracies in your personal data.
- Erasure: You can request that we delete your personal data, subject to our need to retain certain data for legal purposes.
- Restriction: You can request that we restrict the processing of your personal data under certain circumstances.
- Portability: You can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including data you have provided to us.
- Objection: You can object to the processing of your personal data, including for direct marketing purposes.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [contact@ambassadeurfranco.org]. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Data transferred internationally (e.g., to servers located in India) will be protected in compliance with applicable data protection laws and subject to appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses.
Security Measures
We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time in compliance with the GDPR. Any changes will be posted on this page, and where appropriate, notified to you by email.
