Who we are
Our website address is: https://ogaweb.org/.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the information shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent to help detect spam.
An anonymised string (also known as a hash) created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar privacy policy can be found at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract location data from images on the site.
Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so you do not need to fill in your details again next time. These cookies last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.
When you log in, we set several cookies to save your login information and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen option cookies for one year. Selecting ‘Remember Me’ keeps your login active for two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and only stores the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their content, including tracking interactions if you are logged in to their 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, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely so that any future comments can be approved automatically instead of being held for moderation.
For users who register on our site (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profiles. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except usernames). Website administrators can also view 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 data you have provided. You may also request that we delete any personal data we hold about you, except for data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where We Send Your Data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
