Who we are

Our web address is: https://stilbaaitourism.co.za/.

Comments

When folks drop comments on the site, we gather the info displayed in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist in spotting spam.

An anonymized string, created from your email address (also known as a hash), might be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. You can find the privacy policy for the Gravatar service here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment gets the green light, your profile picture becomes visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you’re uploading images to the website, it’s wise to steer clear of images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can snag and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

If you drop a comment on our site, you can choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. They’re there for your convenience, sparing you the hassle of filling in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies stick around for a year.

If you swing by our login page, we’ll toss in a temporary cookie to suss out if your browser is cool with cookies. This cookie holds no personal data and gets tossed out when you close your browser.

When you log in, we’ll dish out several cookies to remember your login info and your screen display choices. Login cookies hang around for two days, and screen options cookies linger for a year. Opt for “Remember Me,” and your login will stay active for two weeks. Log out, and those login cookies get the boot.

Edit or publish an article, and an extra cookie gets stashed in your browser. This cookie doesn’t spill any personal info; it simply points to the post ID of the article you just edited. It kicks the bucket after a day.

Embedded content from other websites

This site’s articles might include embedded content (like videos, images, articles, etc.) that behaves the same as if you visited the other website.

These websites could scoop up data about you, employ cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and keep tabs on your interaction with that embedded content—tracking your moves if you’ve got an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

If you ask for a password reset, your IP address tags along in the reset email.

How long we keep your data

If you drop a comment, that comment and its metadata stick around indefinitely. This way, we can swiftly recognize and give the nod to any follow-up comments without queuing them up for moderation.

For users who register on our website (if any), we hang on to the personal information they share in their user profile. Users can peek at, tweak, or delete their personal info anytime (with the exception of their username, which can’t be changed). Website bigwigs can also eyeball and adjust that info.

Your data rights

If you’re rocking an account on this site or have left comments, you can ask for a file chock-full of the personal data we’ve got on you, including anything you’ve dished out to us. You can also give us the nod to erase any personal data we’ve got on you. This doesn’t cover any data we’re obligated to stash for administrative, legal, or security reasons.

Where your data heads

Automated spam detection may give visitor comments the once-over.
