Thank you for visiting the IntelliPress website. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you interact with our website. Please take a moment to read this policy to understand our practices regarding your personal information.
Collection of Personal Information:
When you visit our website, we may collect certain information to improve your browsing experience and provide you with a personalized service. The types of data we collect may include:
- Comments: If you choose to leave a comment on our site, we collect the data entered in the comments form, your IP address, and browser user agent string to help us detect and prevent spam.
- Gravatar Service: If you have a Gravatar account, an anonymized string created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. Your profile picture, if approved, may be visible to the public alongside your comment.
- Media: When you upload images to our website, please ensure that you do not include embedded location data (EXIF GPS) within them. Other visitors to the website can download and extract such location data from the images.
- Cookies: We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience and provide certain functionalities on our website. If you leave a comment, you may choose to opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are designed for your convenience, so you don’t have to re-enter your details when leaving subsequent comments. These cookies typically expire after one year. Additionally, if you visit our login page, a temporary cookie is set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. No personal data is stored in this cookie, and it is discarded when you close your browser.
- Embedded Content: Our website may contain embedded content, such as videos, images, or articles, from other websites. This embedded content behaves in the same way as if you were visiting the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, track your interaction with the embedded content, and monitor your engagement if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Sharing of Data:
We do not share your personal data with third parties, except in the following circumstances:
- Password Reset: If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email for security purposes.
Data Retention:
If you leave a comment on our website, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments, instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users have the ability to see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators also have access to view and modify this information.
Your Rights:
If you have an account on our website or have left comments, you have certain rights over your personal data:
- Access and Export: You can request to receive an exported file containing the personal data we hold about you, including any information you have provided to us.
- Data Erasure: You can request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. Please note that this may not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Automated Spam Detection and Security:
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service to maintain the integrity of our website and protect against malicious activities.
Data Transfers:
Please be aware that the data you provide may be transferred and stored on servers located in various countries around the world. By using our website and providing your personal information, you consent to the transfer, storage, and processing of your data in these countries. Rest assured that we take appropriate measures to ensure the security and confidentiality of your information in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
Security Measures:
We are committed to protecting the security of your personal information. We implement a variety of security measures to safeguard your data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:
- Secure Connections: Our website uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to establish a secure and encrypted connection between your browser and our servers.

- Access Control: Access to your personal information is restricted to authorized personnel who require it for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. We maintain strict access controls and regularly review our security protocols.

- Regular Audits: We conduct regular audits and assessments of our systems and processes to ensure ongoing compliance with data protection standards.

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, plugins, or services that are not owned or controlled by IntelliPress. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third-party sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these websites before providing any personal information.
