Privacy Policy – Who We Are
Our website address is https://smallbiztipster.com.
What personal data do we collect and why do we collect it?
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.
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.
Contact forms
Please use a contact form here on the website to contact us.
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.
If you have an account and you log in to this site, 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 1 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 with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to track our website traffic. Similarly, third-party services and advertising partners may collect basic information too. You can read about their policy here.
Read more here on their privacy policy and how to opt-out.
Who do we share your data with?
Third-party providers with whom you share site data, including partners, cloud-based services, payment processors, and third-party service providers, and note what data you share with them and why. Link to their own privacy policies if possible.
One Signal Push is another third-party we use if you subscribe to push notifications. You can check One Signal Push’s privacy policy here.
Not to mention, by default, WordPress does not share any personal data with anyone. You can check our disclosure page here.
How long do 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 profiles.
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 do 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 per this privacy policy.
Where do we send your data?
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
How we protect your data with our privacy policy
Equally important, we use HTTPS here on Small Biz Tipster.
The HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is the secure version of HTTP. It is the protocol over which data is sent between your browser and the website that you are connected to. The ‘S’ at the end of HTTPS stands for ‘Secure’. It means all communications between your browser and the website are encrypted.
Therefore HTTPS is often used to protect highly confidential online transactions. These transactions may include online banking and online shopping order forms.
In addition, web browsers such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome also display a padlock icon in the address bar to visually indicate that an HTTPS connection is in effect.
What data breach procedures do we have in place for the privacy policy?
Therefore, If you believe you have had a breach here, contact me immediately.
What third parties do we receive data from?
In the same fashion, our advertisers receive data once you click on their ads or links throughout this website.
