Who We Are
Our website address is: https://webpoint.co.za.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.
An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. 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, avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not need to re-enter your details when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.
When you log in, we set cookies to save your login information and display preferences. Login cookies last two days, and screen option cookies last a year. Selecting “Remember Me” extends login persistence to two weeks. If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be stored indicating the post ID; this expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if you visited those websites directly. They may collect data, use cookies, and track your interaction with the embedded content.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How Long We Retain Your Data
Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely to allow automated recognition and approval of follow-up comments.
For registered users, personal information provided in user profiles is stored and can be viewed, edited, or deleted at any time (except the username). Website administrators can also view and edit that information.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you may request an exported file of your personal data or request that we erase it, except where retention is required for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
