Who we are
Our website address is the Education Hub site you are visiting now.
Comments
When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comments form, and the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible publicly with your comment.
Media
If you upload images, avoid images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract location data from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies so you do not need to fill them again. These cookies last one year.
If you visit the login page, a temporary cookie checks whether your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is discarded when you close the browser.
Login cookies store your login preferences. Screen preference cookies last about a year. If you select “Remember Me,” login lasts two weeks. Logging out removes login cookies.
Embedded content
Articles may include embedded content (for example videos or images from other sites). Embedded content behaves as if the visitor visited the other site, which may collect data, use cookies, and track interaction.
Who we share with
If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email.
How long we retain data
Comments and their metadata are kept so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments. Registered user data stays in their profiles; users can see, edit, or delete their personal information except they cannot change their username. Site administrators can also see and edit that information.
Your rights
If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of personal data we hold about you, and request erasure of personal data we hold about you. This does not include data we must keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where we send data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
