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, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.

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

MEDIA

If you upload images to the website, please avoid including embedded location data (e.g., EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images on the site.

CONTACT FORMS

When you use our contact forms, we collect the information you provide (such as your name, email address, and message) to respond to your inquiries. We do not use this information for marketing purposes without your explicit consent.

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 you do not have to fill in your details again for future comments. 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 set up cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one year. If you select "Remember Me," your login will persist for two weeks. When you log out, 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 one 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 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 the embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

ANALYTICS

We use Google Analytics to understand website performance and user behavior. This data is anonymized and used solely for improving our services. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

WHO WE SHARE YOUR DATA WITH

We share data with trusted service providers, such as Shopify for e-commerce functionality and Google Analytics for site performance analysis. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data in accordance with applicable privacy laws. We never sell your data. If you wish to have your data deleted, please contact us at hi@ourshiftbrand.com.

HOW LONG WE RETAIN YOUR DATA

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website (if any), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for their username. Website administrators can also view and edit this 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. To exercise your rights, contact us at hi@ourshiftbrand.com.

WHERE WE SEND YOUR DATA

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. For visitors from the European Economic Area (EEA), we ensure that any data transfers outside the EEA comply with GDPR through the use of standard contractual clauses or equivalent safeguards.

DATA SECURITY

We take the security of your personal data seriously. We use encryption, secure servers, and other measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
