We are the Excellence Drive team and we are committed to protecting the privacy of our visitors and customers. This privacy policy describes what personal data we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have in relation to it.
When a visitor leaves a comment on the website, we collect the data specified in the comment form, as well as the visitor's IP address and browser data (user-agent), for the purpose of detecting and preventing spam.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to external services to help verify user identity. After your comment is approved, your profile picture is publicly visible in the context of your comment.
If you are a registered user and upload images to the website, we recommend that you avoid uploading images with EXIF metadata, as they may contain GPS coordinates and other information about your location. Visitors can extract this information by downloading the images from the website.
If you leave a comment on the site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies are stored for one year.
When you log into your account, temporary cookies are created to confirm that your browser supports cookies. These do not contain any personal data and are deleted when you close your browser.
When you log in to the system, additional cookies are created that store login information and screen settings. Login cookies are stored for two days, and settings cookies are stored for one year. If you select the "Remember me" option, your login information is stored for two weeks. When you log out of your account, these cookies are deleted.
When editing or publishing an article in the browser, an additional cookie may be stored, which contains only the ID of the edited publication and is deleted after one day.
Articles on this site may contain embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). This content behaves in the same way as if the visitor had visited the other website.
These external sites may collect data about you, use cookies, implement third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their content, including if you have an account and are logged in to those sites.
If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the access recovery message to ensure the security of the process.
Comments and their metadata are stored indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments without placing them in a queue for approval.
For registered users, the personal information they provide in their profiles is stored. Each user can view, edit, or delete their data at any time (except for their username). Site administrators also have access to this information and can edit it if necessary.
If you have an account on the site or have left comments, you can request a file containing all the personal data we hold about you. You can also request that this data be deleted, unless we are required to retain it for legal or administrative reasons or to ensure security.
Visitor comments may be checked through automated spam detection systems or other security tools to prevent abuse.
