In today’s digital world, ensuring the privacy and security of your personal information is crucial. Our website is committed to safeguarding your privacy and ensuring transparency in how your information is handled. Below is an overview of our privacy policy, which details the collection, use, and protection of your data when you interact with our website.
What is Our Identity?
Our website address is http://reviewcareers.co.za As a trusted online platform, we aim to provide our users with a seamless and secure experience. Understanding how we handle your data is key to ensuring that you are informed and confident when engaging with our services.
User Comments and Information Collection
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comment form, including the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist with spam detection. Additionally, if you choose to leave a comment, an anonymized string, created from your email address (also known as a hash), may be shared with the Gravatar service to verify your identity. For more details on how Gravatar processes your data, please refer to their privacy policy at Gravatar Privacy Policy.
Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public in connection with your comment.
Media Uploads and Location Data
If you upload images to our website, we recommend that you avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS) within your images. Visitors to the site can download and extract any location data contained in images you upload, potentially compromising your privacy. It’s always a good idea to check your image metadata before uploading it to any platform.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our site uses cookies to enhance your browsing experience. When you leave a comment, you may opt to have your name, email address, and website saved in cookies for convenience, so you won’t need to re-enter these details when posting another comment. These cookies will remain active for one year.
Additionally, when you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain any personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.
Upon logging in, we set up cookies to save your login information and display preferences. These login cookies last for two days, while display preference cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. However, logging out will remove these login cookies.
When you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is stored in your browser. This cookie doesn’t contain any personal data but simply records the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Some articles on our site may include embedded content such as videos, images, or articles from other websites. Embedded content behaves in exactly the same way as if the visitor had visited the other website directly. These external sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content. If you are logged into those external sites, they may track your interactions with their content as well.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
We do not share your personal data with third parties unless explicitly stated. For example, if you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security purposes. This is part of our commitment to maintaining a safe and secure user experience.
Data Retention: How Long Do We Keep Your Information?
We retain comments and their metadata indefinitely to facilitate automatic recognition and approval of subsequent comments. This helps us avoid holding comments in moderation queues.
For users who register on our site (if applicable), we store the personal information they provide in their user profiles. As a user, you have the ability to view, edit, or delete your personal information at any time, except for your username, which cannot be changed. Site administrators also have the ability to view and modify your information.
Your Rights Over Your Personal Information
If you have a user account on our site, or if you have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any information you have provided. You can also request that we delete any personal data we hold about you. However, please note that we are obliged to retain certain information for administrative, legal, or security purposes, even if you request its deletion.
Where Your Information Is Sent
Guest comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. This process ensures that only legitimate interactions occur on our website, maintaining the integrity of our community and protecting against harmful content.
