Please take a moment to review the updated policy below:

Who We Are

Hello and welcome to iTechlogical! We are thrilled to have you here. Our website address is https://itechlogical.com/, and if you need to contact us, please email us at theitechlogical@gmail.com. We are always here to assist you!

What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It

Comments

When you leave comments on our site, we collect the information you provide in the comments form, including your name, email address, and website (if applicable). Additionally, we collect your IP address and browser user agent string to help us prevent spam.

We may use an anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) to check if you have a Gravatar account. If you do, your Gravatar profile picture will be displayed next to your comment. Please note that the Gravatar service has its privacy policy, which you can review here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.

We do not collect your email address from the comments form for marketing purposes nor sell or disclose email addresses to any third parties.

Contact Forms

When you submit a contact form on our website, we only collect the information you provide, such as your name, email address, and other relevant details. We use this information solely to address your inquiry and do not share it with third parties or use it for any other purpose. Rest assured that we take your privacy seriously at all times.

Log Files

Like most websites, we collect and utilize data stored in log files. These files contain your IP address, ISP, browser type, the time you visited our site, and the pages you accessed. We use this information to analyze trends, administer the site, track user movement, and gather demographic information. This data is collected for statistical purposes and includes no personally identifiable information.

Advertising

In addition to collecting information directly, we collaborate with third-party advertising partners to display ads on our site. These partners may use cookies and similar technologies to gather insights about your browsing activities and provide you with targeted ads. However, please note that this Privacy Policy only applies to our use of cookies and not to our advertising partners’ use. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of our advertising partners to understand their use of cookies and the information they collect.

Cookies and Web Beacons

We use third-party advertisements to generate revenue and ensure our site remains accessible. These advertisers may use cookies and web beacons to collect information about your browsing preferences, internet service provider, device, and whether you have Flash installed. This information allows advertisers like Google to show ads that match your interests or location.

You can manage your cookie preferences or disable third-party cookies in your browser settings or Norton Internet Security. However, please note that disabling cookies may affect how our website functions and how you interact with it. For example, it may prevent you from accessing certain services.

Embedded Content From Other Websites

Occasionally, we include embedded content from other websites within our articles. This content functions as if you have visited the external website directly. Please be aware that these external websites may collect your information, use cookies, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content. We encourage you to review any external website’s privacy policies.

Analytics

When you use iTechlogical, we automatically collect certain information using Google Analytics. This includes details about your device, how you interact with the website, and any communication between your device and our site. We collect this data for statistical purposes to improve our website and services. Please note that we do not collect personal information through Google Analytics.

If you prefer not to have your personal information collected and stored by Google Analytics, you can download and install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. For more information on how Google collects and uses data, please consult the Google Privacy Policy.

Who We Share Your Data With

We want you to feel confident that your personal information is safe with us. We never sell or share your data with anyone. If you sign up for our email newsletter, we use a third-party email provider called Mailchimp to store your email address. However, we cannot access your email address stored by Mailchimp. For more information on Mailchimp’s privacy policy, please visit: https://mailchimp.com/about/security/

How Long Do We Retain Your Data

When you leave a comment, we keep that comment and its details indefinitely. This allows us to identify and automatically approve any follow-up comments you might make instead of requiring each comment to be moderated.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have posted comments on our website, you can request an exported file of the personal data we have stored about you, including any data you provided. You can also request that we completely erase any personal data we have collected from you. However, please note that there may be some data we must legally keep for administrative or security reasons.

Our Contact Information

If you have any questions about your data and how we use it, please get in touch with us at iTechlogical via email at theitechlogical@gmail.com. If you would like to obtain a copy of all your personal information stored on our website or request the deletion of your information, please email us at the same address, and we will promptly assist you.

Data Security

At iTechlogical, we take data security seriously. We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures to safeguard and protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. We regularly review our security practices and update them as necessary to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of your data.

Please note that while we strive to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is entirely secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children’s Privacy

Protecting the privacy of children is important to us. Our website is not intended for children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under 18. If you believe that we may have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 18, please get in touch with us immediately, and we will take steps to delete that information from our records.

Changes to the Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the updated Privacy Policy on our website. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.

By continuing to use our website, you acknowledge and agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

Thank you for taking the time to read our updated Privacy Policy. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Your privacy is important to us, and we are committed to protecting your personal information.
