What personal data we collect and why we collect it

E-mail list submission for free resources

If you submit your e-mail address to receive resources such as a free guide, you will first receive a confirmation e-mail from MailChimp asking you to confirm your subscription. Only then will you be added to our mailing list. You will then receive periodic e-mails with additional free information or commercial offers. Your details will never be shared with any third-parties and will be used strictly to send you communications from Niry Consulting. You will be able to unsubscribe at any point via a unsubscribe link that will be included at the bottom of every e-mail.

Our e-mails are sent via the MailChimp e-mail automation platform, a registered trademark of “The Rocket Science Group”, whose headquarters are located at: 675 Ponce de Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000 Atlanta, GA, 30308, USA.

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. Comments are protected by reCAPTCHA. The Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply.

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.

Contact forms

All personal information sent via our contact form is submitted securely and will never be shared with anyone. It will strictly be used to reply to any inquiries sent through the site. Contact form submissions are protected by reCAPTCHA. The Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply.

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 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 tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

Your personal data is strictly confidential and will never be shared with anyone.

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.
