This privacy policy explains how jensdufour.be (“the site”) collects, uses, and protects your personal data when you visit.
Who we are
Our website address is: https://jensdufour.be. The site is operated by Jens Du Four, based in Belgium. For any privacy-related questions, you can reach me at jensdufour@outlook.com.
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.
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service provided by Akismet. The information collected typically includes the commenter’s IP address, user agent, referrer, and site URL, along with other information directly provided by the commenter such as their name, username, email address, and the comment itself.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
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 visit our login page, 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.
When you log in, we will also set up several 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.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
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.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
Your personal data is not sold, rented, or shared with third parties, except where required by law or necessary for hosting the site (e.g., the hosting provider processing server logs).
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.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
Server logs are retained according to the hosting provider’s standard retention periods. Any personal data from direct communication is kept only as long as necessary to handle your inquiry.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also 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.
As a visitor from the European Economic Area, you additionally have the right to:
- Access the personal data held about you
- Request correction of inaccurate data
- Object to or restrict processing of your data
- Data portability
To exercise any of these rights, contact me at jensdufour@outlook.com.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
