Main – Privacy Policy
Effective Date: 1/1/2019
At vxgarage, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect and how we use it. By using our website (vxgarage.com) or the vxgarage App, you consent to the practices described in this policy.
Information We Collect
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, including the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website or the vxgarage App, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract any location data from images on the website or the App.
Contact Forms
If you contact us through our contact forms, we may collect personal information such as your name, email address, and any other details you provide.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site or use the vxgarage App, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience. These cookies will last for one year.
When you log in, we will set up 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.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site or within the vxgarage App may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles) from other websites. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the 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
We may collect analytical data to improve our website and the vxgarage App. This data is anonymous and cannot be used to personally identify you.
Sharing Your Data
Data Retention
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 who register on our website or the vxgarage App, we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. You can see, edit, or delete your personal information at any time in your account settings, except for your username, which cannot be changed. Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
Your Rights
If you have an account on this site or use the vxgarage App, or if you have left comments, you can:
- Request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us.
- 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.
Where We Send Your Data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
