How SetupHK collects, uses, stores and protects your information.
Our website address is: https://setuphk.com.
Comments: When you leave a comment, we collect the data you enter in the comment form, as well as your IP address and browser user agent string, to help detect spam. An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check whether you are using it. If your comment is approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible.
Media: If you upload images, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as others can download and extract it.
Cookies: We use cookies to make things convenient for you. If you leave a comment, cookies save your name, email address and website address for one year. A temporary cookie is set when you visit our login page, and login cookies are kept for two days, unless you choose ‘Remember Me’, in which case they are kept for two weeks.
Embedded content: Articles on this website may include embedded content from other websites (for example videos and images). This content behaves exactly as if you had visited the other website directly, and those websites may collect data about you, use cookies and track your interactions.
Data sharing: If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
Comments: Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely so that we can automatically approve follow-up comments.
Registered users: For registered users, we store the personal information you provide in your profile. You can view, edit or delete this information at any time (except your username), and site administrators can also view and edit it.
You can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you.
You can ask us to erase any personal data we hold about you, except data we are required to keep for legal or security purposes.
Automated spam detection services may check visitor comments.
