Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us. This policy aims to transparently outline how we manage, process, and store your personal information. By accessing or using our website, you acknowledge and consent to this Privacy Policy.

Who We Are
Our website address is: https://ccexperiencer.org.

Information Collection and Usage
Direct Collection: When you register or interact with our website, you may provide personal information including, but not limited to, your name, email address, mailing address, and phone number.
Automatic Collection: As with most digital platforms, we collect data such as browser type, device type, IP address, pages visited, and duration of visit, through various technological tools like cookies and log files.

Comments
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.

Additionally, 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.

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.

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.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Cookies are files with small amounts of data, which might include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent to your browser from a website and stored on your device. We use cookies to collect, store, and track information for statistical purposes to operate and improve our website and services.

Purposes of Processing Data
We use the data we collect for several purposes including enhancing user experience, personalizing content, communicating with users, providing, maintaining, and improving our services, monitoring and analyzing user activity.

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.

Data Security Measures
We take stringent measures to safeguard your data. These measures include the use of secure servers, firewalls, encrypted data storage, and SSL (Secure Socket Layers) when and where available.

Data Retention and Removal
We only retain your personal information for as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy, or to comply with legal obligations. You can request that your data be deleted at any time, subject to certain legal exceptions.

Links to External Websites
Our website may contain links to external sites not operated by us. We strongly advise reviewing the Privacy Policy of every site you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content or practices of these sites.

Policy Changes
We reserve the right to update or change this Privacy Policy at any time. Your continued use of the service after any changes indicates acceptance of those changes.

Disclaimer of Guarantee
While we strive to safeguard your information, no digital transmission or storage method is 100% secure. Hence, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Age Restrictions
Our services are not directed towards individuals under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 18.

International Data Transfers
Your information, including personal data, may be transferred to—and maintained on—computers located outside your country, where data protection laws may differ. Your consent to this Privacy Policy represents your agreement to such transfers.
