1. General information
From May 25, 2018, new data protection rules will apply GDPR for operators of all websites. We hereby inform you about what data is collected by our website or the services we use.
The operator of this private website plakias-finkas.net is named in the legal notice.
The use of our website is possible without providing any personal data. All information required to register as a user is provided voluntarily on your part and is subject to complete self-control. This data will generally only be passed on to third parties with your express permission.
We must point out that data transmission over the Internet can have security gaps. Complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible. We therefore strongly recommend that you take your own measures to protect your privacy.
Of course, we will provide you with information about your personal data that is stored by us. These will be deleted upon request.
2. What personal information we collect and why we collect it
2.1 Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and user agent string (which identifies the browser) to help spam detection.
An anonymized string can be created from your email address (also called a hash) and given to the Gravatar service to check whether you are using it. You can find the privacy policy of the Gravatar service here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment has been approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible in the context of your comment.
2.2 Media library
If you are a registered user and upload photos to this website, you should avoid uploading photos with an EXIF GPS location. Visitors to this website could download photos stored on this website and extract their location information.
2.3 Contact forms
Currently no contact form is offered.
2.4 Cookies
If you write a comment on our website, you may agree to save your name, email address and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so that you do not have to enter all this information again when you leave another comment. These cookies are stored for one year.
If you have an account and log in to this website, we will set a temporary cookie to determine whether 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 some cookies to save your login information and viewing choices. Login cookies expire after two days and viewing options cookies expire after one year. If you select “Stay logged in” when registering, your registration will be maintained for two weeks. When you log out of your account, the login cookies are deleted.
When you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is stored in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and only refers to the post ID of the article you just edited. The cookie expires after one day.
2.5 With whom we share your data
No personal data is shared with third parties. If this is the case, then generally only with your express permission.
2.6 How long we store your data
If you write a comment, it will be saved indefinitely, including metadata. This way we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website, we additionally store the personal information they provide in their user profiles. All users can view, change or delete their personal information at any time (the user name cannot be changed). Website administrators can also view and change this information.
2.7 What rights you have to your data
If you have an account on this site or have written comments, you can request an export of your personal data from us, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request the deletion of any personal data we hold about you. This does not include data that we are required to retain for administrative, legal or security reasons.
2.8 Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
2.9 Server log files
The provider of our website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
- Browser type and browser version
- operating system used
- Referrer URL
- Host name of the accessing computer
- Time of server request
- IP address
This data will not be merged with other data sources!
2.10 SSL encryption
To secure the website and protect the transmission of confidential content, we use SSL encryption. You can recognize this by the browser address line changing from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line. If SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
3. Embedded content from other websites
Posts on this website may contain embedded content (e.g. videos, images, posts, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if the visitor had 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 with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
