Privacy Policy

Who we are

Our website address is: https://qiii.media. We are committed to safeguarding the privacy of our website visitors. This policy explains what we do with your personal information and how we ensure your data is handled securely.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the information provided in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This information helps us in spam detection and to provide a safe and functional commenting experience.

To enhance user experience, an anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be used to check for the presence of a profile picture, which will be displayed publicly once your comment is approved. For more information about how we handle and protect your data, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

Media

If you upload images to our website, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS) in your images. Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images posted online. This precaution is to protect your privacy and control over your personal information.

Cookies

Our site uses cookies to improve your experience. Here’s a breakdown of how we use them:

  • Comments: If you leave a comment on our site, you can opt-in to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This feature is for your convenience, so you don’t have to re-enter your details when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.
  • Login Page: A temporary cookie will be set to check if your browser accepts cookies when you visit our login page. This cookie does not contain any personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
  • Login Information: When you log in, we set up cookies to save your login details and screen preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you choose “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out will remove these cookies.
  • Editing or Publishing: If you edit or publish an article, a cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves the same way as if you visited those websites directly. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of these third-party sites.

Who We Share Your Data With

Your data is kept private and only shared in specific circumstances. For example, if you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security purposes. Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service to prevent malicious activity on our site.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, both the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This is so we can automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments without needing to moderate each one.

For users that register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Registered users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for their username. Website administrators can also see and edit this information.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

Under European law (GDPR), you have the right to:

  1. Access: You can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you provided.
  2. Erasure: You can request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. However, this does not include data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
  3. Rectification: You can ask us to correct any incorrect or outdated information.
  4. Objection: You can object to the processing of your data under certain conditions.
  5. Data Portability: You can request that we transfer the data we have collected to another organization or directly to you.

To exercise these rights, please contact us at mail@qiii.media. We will respond within one month of receiving your request.

Where We Send Your Data

Visitor comments may be processed through an automated spam detection service to prevent unauthorized use of our website. In some cases, this may involve the transfer of data outside the European Economic Area (EEA). When data is transferred outside the EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information, such as utilizing standard data protection clauses.

Security of Your Data

We take data protection seriously and implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure the security of your personal information. However, no internet-based site can be 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you have any concerns about the security of your data, please contact us.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, services, and legal obligations. When changes are made, we will update the date at the bottom of this policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your data.
