This privacy policy for Hitranks (‘we’, ‘us’, or ‘our’) operating as hitranks.pro, describes how and why we might collect, store, use, and/or share (“process”) your information when you use our website or any of our services that links to this privacy notice.
We want you to know the data we collect from you, how we process it and the rights you have over these information. All information collected are used to maintain proper operations, provide better services, improve security of our site and also comply with law. Please contact the site administrator if you have got questions regarding this notice. Note that we may make changes to this policy to stay compliant.
When you leave a comment on this site, we may directly collect information like your name for display purposes and also your IP address and browser user agent string to help in spam detection.
Although we do not process sensitive personal information, but when necessary and with your consent or as otherwise permitted by applicable law we may directly collect and process personal information. Like in a case of a guest contributor to our blog, your name, email address and other contact details will be needed to get registered on our website.
When such a contributor logs into our website (which is not available for a regular user on our site), we may collect log details like IP address, username and browser user agent string. If such users requests for lost password, their IP address and username will be used to compute the reset email while their browser user agent aids in log audits.
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in such details again when you leave another comment. These kind of cookies will last for one year.
If you are a registered user (contributor), we will set a temporary cookie on our login page to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When a registered user logs in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Yes, we use services from other websites and apps as a tool to improve our site’s overall performance. Such tools may include but not limited to Google analytics, Cloudflare CDN and WordPress.org services. Again, we embed contents from external sites too like Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest and TikTok mainly to decorate our contents and make them richer in information just for your pleasure.
Embedded contents should not be confused with our normal site contents as they may also come in the form of streamable videos, audios or images directly accessible on our site.
The implication and concerns with your data is that anyone of the external sites 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.
Our site is not rated, its contents are for anyone to consume. Hence, we do not knowingly collect or process information from persons under the age of 18. However, minors accessing and using this site are presumed to have come under the directives of their parents or guardian as the case may be.
Know that we may share the information we collect from you with third parties so as to improve our services to you and to comply with regulatory laws.
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Having read our privacy policy, you agree to be bound by our terms of use.
