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, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help 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.

Contact forms

When visitors fill the contact form on the site we collect the data shown in the form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. This information is used to interact with visitors of the site regarding any queries.

Newsletter

When visitors fill the contact details to subscribe to our newsletter we save the details secure in our server. The details are shared privately with Mail Poet our newsletter plugin which enables us to send newsletters. Please read Mail Poet Privacy policy here. No other third party has access to this data. Users are free to unsubscribe our newsletter anytime.

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.

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.

Analytics

When you visit the site, using Google analytics plugin we capture the IP address and assign pseudonym and save it as anonymous information, hence it is difficult to trace back any visitor using this data. Your interaction on the site is captured as well. This information helps us understand the visitor traffic and behaviour. Google analytics data uses Google service and data is stored privately and never shared with any third party from our end. Additionally, the backend cpanel software captures your IP address and stores it for a time period of 24 hour only. This data is stored securely in our server and not shared with any third party and gets deleted daily.

Vimeo

To embed some videos we also use the services of the video portal Vimeo (Vimeo LLC, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011 USA). By starting the video, a connection is established to the vimeo.com server in order to play the video and the video is then delivered by this server. This server is located in a country outside the European Union. Vimeo will therefore receive your IP address and also the link to the web page from which you have watched the video. Further information can be found in Vimeo’s data protection policy at https://vimeo.com/privacy.

Instagram

The Gallery is enabled via 10Web Instagram Feed. We use the service offered by Instagram API. By clicking on the photo a connection is established to instagram server that shows photo from our feed. The plugin does not send any user’s data to Instagram. All the data received from Instagram via API is cached in our WordPress database for some short customizable period to provide front end optimization. Instagram saves some cookies in browsers of website visitors via API data. These cookies are mostly used for security purposes. They are regulated under terms of Instagram’s privacy policy https://instagram.com/legal/privacy.

Who we share your data with

We do not share any data collected on influxart.at server with any third party explicitly. We share selected data with certain service providers who enable services such as newsletter, analytics and multimedia content.

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.
