What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Google Web Fonts

For uniform representation of fonts, this page uses web fonts provided by Google. When you open a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly. For this purpose, your browser has to establish a direct connection to Google servers. Google thus becomes aware that our web page was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web fonts is done in the interest of a uniform and attractive presentation of our plugin. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font is used by your computer. Further information about handling user data, can be found at developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy at www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

Analytics

By using our website and accepting our cookies, we will record information that is used to track your activity on our website via Google Analytics. This includes your IP Address and User Agent information. You can opt out of our Google Analytics tracking, by clicking here and using the “Change your consent” or “Withdraw your consent” options. You can view Google’s Privacy Policy here. We use the GA Google Analytics plugin to connect our website to Google Analytics. This plugin does not collect any user data.

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

KWD IT

KWD IT manages our website, ensuring it remains secure and continues to function correctly. They can, therefore, access any of the data in our website database. Under no circumstances do we give permission for KWD IT to share any information stored in our website database or use any personal data for their own means.

Plugin Developers

Our website uses third-party plugins to provide additional functionality. If any issues occur with these third-party plugins, the developers need logins to the administration area of our website, so that they can diagnose and fix the problem. Once the issue has been resolved, their access is revoked.  

How long we retain your data

Analytics

We have configured our Google Analytics account to clean up personal data after a 26 month period.  

What rights you have over your data

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 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. Ensuring accuracy of information, you can also request corrections. For large/excessive data requests we may charge a small fee.  

Where we send your data

We use Digital Ocean Spaces to take daily backups of our website. Each backup is automatically deleted after 7 days. To find out more about how Digital Ocean handles our data, please click here.
