Who we are
Our website address is: https://uabio.org/.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.
An anonymised string created from your email address, also called a hash, may be provided to the Gravatar service to see whether you use it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download images from the website and extract any location data they contain.
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 you do not have to fill in your details again when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.
If you have an account on the site and log in, we set a temporary cookie to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is removed when you close your browser.
When you log in, we also set several cookies to save your login information and screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one year. If you select ‘Remember me’, your login persists for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies are removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply indicates the ID of the article you have just edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content, such as videos, images or articles. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you had visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking and monitor your interaction with embedded content. This includes tracking your interaction with embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address is included in the reset email.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognise and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website, if any, we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit or delete their personal information at any time, except that they cannot change their username. Website administrators can also view and edit that information.
Your rights over your data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include data we must retain for administrative, legal or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
