What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Contact Us Form

Our Contact Us form collects the Name, Email, Address, and comments from customers and potential customers. All information collected in the Contact Us form may be examined and used for marketing purposes. We will never sell your information to third-party websites. However, we may use third-party software to aid us in marketing our content.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log 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.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has 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.

Analytics

Egress Window Guy uses Google Analytics, Google AdWords, and WordPress Analytics to track search information. We use the data we gather of our website visitor’s behaviors to optimize and enhance the user experience so customers are able to find what they are looking for easier and faster. We gather all types of attainable data through these platforms. We will not sell this data to third party websites, but we may use a third party software to aid in marketing our content.

Who we share your data with

We do not share the data we collect with any other company. If we do share data with other companies, it is for the sole purpose of better reaching our potential customers. Companies included in this are susceptible to change according to our marketing efforts. We currently allow Google products to access search data from our website to make marketing decisions. Google collects data from our website but this data does not contain personal information like addresses or names.

How long we retain your data

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.

What rights you have over your data

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.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. This is to ensure our website is void of harmful and destructive content.

Your contact information

If you have any questions, please fill send us an inquiry through our Contact Us form found here. We will reply to your inquiry within a few days.
