Privacy Policy

Who We Are
Our website address is: https://builtdigitalmedia.com.
02
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with 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/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
03
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 leaving another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, 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 set up several cookies to save your login information and 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. Logging out removes the login cookies.
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 just edited. It expires after one day.
04
Google Analytics & Tracking
We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous data about website traffic and user interactions. This includes information such as pages visited, time spent on the site, and how users arrived at the website. This data helps us analyze and improve user experience. Google Analytics may use cookies to track visitor interactions. You can learn more about how Google uses this data by visiting: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
If you wish to opt out of Google Analytics tracking, you can do so by adjusting your browser settings or using the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
05
Contact Forms
When you submit a contact form on our website, we collect the data entered into the form (such as your name, email address, phone number, and message) to respond to your inquiry. This data is stored securely and is not shared with third parties unless required to fulfill your request.
We retain contact form submissions for a period necessary to handle inquiries and customer service requests. You may request that we delete this data at any time.
06
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 if you have an account and are logged into that website.
07
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. Google Analytics data is shared with Google for analytical purposes.
08
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
Contact form submissions are retained as long as necessary to address inquiries and customer service needs. Google Analytics data is retained as per Google’s data retention policies.
09
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. You may 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.
10
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Google Analytics data is processed by Google. Contact form submissions may be processed by our email provider for communication purposes.
