Who We Are

Our website address is: https://alcaterm.com.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data provided in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible alongside your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, please ensure they do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract location data from images.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience, so you don’t have to re-enter your details when leaving another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to check 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 set up several cookies to save your login details and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen preferences cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out will remove these cookies.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and only indicates the post ID of the edited article. It expires after one 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 the same way as if you visited the original site.

These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, especially if you have an account and are logged into that website.

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

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For registered users on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for their username, which cannot be changed. Website administrators can also see and edit this information.

Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any information you have provided. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. However, this does not include data we are legally required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be processed through an automated spam detection service.
