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 with 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.

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.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving 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 visit our login page, 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.

A2P Messaging Compliance & Privacy

In addition to the information collected from our website, we also collect information when you opt-in to our text messaging services.

Information We Collect

When you opt-in to our text messaging services, we collect your phone number and your consent to receive SMS messages from us. We may also collect information about your interaction with our messages, such as response rates.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information collected for text messaging to:

  • Send you the SMS messages you have opted in to receive, which may include marketing promotions, product updates, and other relevant content.
  • Provide timely updates on products, services, and policy changes.
  • Communicate reminders related to your account or transactions.
  • Verify your identity to protect your account and personal information.

Data Sharing for A2P Messaging

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. All the above categories of information exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties, except for aggregators and providers of the text messaging services in order to send you the messages you have opted in for.

Who we share your data with

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

We may also share your information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or providing services to you, as long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. This includes GoHighLevel (GHL) and its affiliated platforms, which we use to manage customer relationships and communication, including A2P messaging.

We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect our or others' rights, property, or safety.

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 your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Your data, including mobile information, may also be processed by our third-party service providers, such as GHL, in order to provide the services you have consented to.
