Personal data protection

Who are we?

The address of our website is: https://www.f3q.be/wp.

Comments

When you leave a comment on our website, the data entered in the comment form, as well as your IP address and the user agent of your browser, are collected to help us detect unwanted comments.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a “hash”) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The privacy policy of the Gravatar service is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible publicly next to your comment.

Media

If you are a registered user and upload images to the site, we advise you to avoid uploading images that contain EXIF data with GPS coordinates. Visitors to your site may download and extract location data from these images.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you will be offered the option to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so that you do not have to re-enter this information if you leave another comment later. These cookies expire after one year.

If you visit the login page, a temporary cookie will be created to determine if your browser accepts cookies. It does not contain personal data and will be automatically deleted when you close your browser.

When you log in, we set a number of cookies to save your login information and screen preferences. The lifetime of a login cookie is two days, while a screen preference cookie lasts for one year. If you check “Remember Me,” your login cookie will be kept for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookie will be removed.

When you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie does not contain any personal data. It simply indicates the ID of the post you just edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded content from other sites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles…). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if the visitor were visiting that other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking tools, and monitor your interactions with this embedded content if you have an account and are logged into their site.

Use and sharing of your personal data

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

Data retention periods

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows for the automatic approval of subsequent comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our site (if possible), we also store the personal data shown in their profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Site administrators can also view and edit this information.

Your rights regarding your data

If you have an account or have left comments on the site, you can request a file containing all the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request the deletion of your personal data. This does not include data stored for administrative, legal, or security reasons.

Sharing your personal data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated service to detect unwanted comments.
