BuildIT.im (“we”, “our”, “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal information is handled responsibly. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have.
Our website address is: https://buildit.im
1. Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the information shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymised string created from your email address (a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you use it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at: https://automattic.com/privacy/ After your comment is approved, your profile image (if any) becomes visible to the public alongside your comment.
2. Media
If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading images containing embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site may download and extract location information from images displayed on the website.
3. Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may opt‑in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These exist for your convenience so you do not need to re‑enter your details when leaving future comments. These cookies last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we set several cookies to store your login information and screen display preferences.
- Login cookies last for two days.
- Screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login persists for two weeks. Logging out removes login cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply records the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.
4. Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if you visited the external site directly.
These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third‑party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content—including tracking if you are logged in to that website.
5. Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security purposes.
6. How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognise and automatically approve follow‑up comments instead of holding them for moderation.
For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profile.
- All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except usernames, which cannot be changed).
- Website administrators can also view and edit this information.
7. Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account on our site or have left comments, you may request an exported file containing the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided.
You may also request that we erase any personal data we hold. This does not include data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
8. Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
