Cookies
This website uses cookies. For more information about what cookies are, what we use them for and how you can delete them, please read our cookies policy.
Comments
When you leave a comment on a blog post, we collect your name and email address. We also collect your IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar Site to see if you are using it. The Gravatar Site Privacy Policy is available here.
After approval of your comment, your profile picture, name and the information you post is visible to the public.
Contact forms
When you leave a contact request, we use WP Forms to collect and store your name and email address in order to reply to your contact form submission. WP Forms outlines the use of your personal data and anonymised data here.
Mailing list
You may choose to voluntarily provide us with your name and email address, so that we may send you newsletters. We don’t rent or trade email lists with other organisations and businesses. We will use your email address based on your consent.
We use Mailerlite, a third-party provider, to deliver our newsletter. You may opt-out of the collection of your data by unsubscribing through the link in the footer of our emails, or by contacting us on [email protected]. Learn more about Mailerlite’s privacy practices here.
Analytics
We may also use Google Analytics to analyse the audience of the website and improve our content. Google Analytics records information about the pages a user has seen, e.g. URL, time of day, device used, etc. No personal information is collected from Google Analytics, and all information is anonymised.
For further information on the privacy policy concerning Google Analytics, please go here. In addition, Google Analytics supports an optional browser add-on that – once installed and enabled – disables measurement by Google Analytics for any site a user visits.
What rights you have over your data
You have a number of rights with respect to your personal information which are:
- The right to be informed about how your personal information is being used (such as this policy)
- The right to access the personal information we hold about you
- The right to request the correction of inaccurate personal information we hold about you
- The right to request that we delete your data, or stop processing it or collecting it, in some circumstances
- The right to withdraw consent for any consent-based processing at any time
You can action any of these rights by contacting us by email at [email protected].
Who we share your data with
We do not, and will not, sell any of your personal data to any third party – including your name and email address. We want to earn and maintain your trust, and we believe this is essential in order to do that.
However, in order to continue to provide you with a seamless service, we sometimes share your data with organisations that are an essential part of being able to provide our services to you, such as:
- Our Site Providers and other organisations, such as website hosts, that help with our business operations and assist in the delivery of the Site
- Other users of the site to identify those who make comments through the Site;
- Persons or entities with whom you consent to have your Personal Data shared;
- Third parties in order to prevent damage to our property (tangible and intangible), for safety reasons;
- Any law enforcement agency, court, regulator, government authority or other organisation if we are required to do so to meet a legal or regulatory obligation, or otherwise to protect our rights or the rights of anyone else
How long we retain your data
We will retain your personal data for as long as is reasonably necessary, usually up to a maximum of 6 years. We may retain and use your personal data beyond this period for regulatory, insurance or legal purposes. We may also retain anonymised information for analytical purposes.
Security of your personal data
Ugochi Uninterrupted uses reasonable and appropriate electronic and administrative safeguards to protect personal data from loss, misuse and unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration and destruction, taking into account the nature of the personal data and risks involved in processing that information. These include access control, firewalls and encrypting transfers of data to or from our servers using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology.
Unfortunately, sending information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data once with us, we cannot guarantee the security of any personal data sent to our Site while still in transit and so you provide it at your own risk.
Links to other websites
Our site may contain links to other websites belonging to third parties which are not covered by this privacy policy. If you want to click through to a third party website, please make sure you read the privacy policy for that website.
Visitors under the age of 13
This Site does not knowingly collect any personal information from anyone under the age of 13. If a child under 13 submits personal information to us and we learn that the personal information is the information of a child under 13, we will attempt to delete the information as soon as possible.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may change this Privacy Policy at any time. The most recent version of the Privacy Policy is indicated by the “Last Updated” date at the top of the Privacy Policy. All changes are effective immediately upon posting. Please review this Privacy Policy frequently to stay updated on changes that may affect you.
