Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

Our website address is: https://crystalpathways.iuk.digital. We are committed to safeguarding the privacy of our users. This policy outlines how we handle your personal data.

2. Information We Collect

  • 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 with spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be shared with a third-party service to check if you are using their service. After approval of your comment, your profile picture may be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
  • Media: If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract 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 you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
    • When 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 cookies to save your login information and 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. When you log out, login cookies will be removed.
    • If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser, indicating the post ID of the article. It expires after one day.
  • Embedded Content: Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). 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.

3. How We Use Your Data

We use your data to:

  • Provide and manage our services.
  • Detect and prevent fraudulent activity.
  • Improve user experience on the website.
  • Comply with legal obligations.

We take great care in securing the data we handle and continuously scan our content for malware and other threats. However, users assume responsibility for any risks associated with using the website. We cannot be held liable for any damages that occur from using our resources, including live sessions, videos, and other materials.

4. Third-Party Services

We use various third-party services and plugins to enhance website functionality and security. These services may collect information such as your IP address, device information, and browsing activity. We do not share your personal data with third parties except where necessary for legal or operational reasons.

5. How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website, we store the personal information provided 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.

6. Your Rights 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, except for data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

7. Where Your Data is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Additionally, we may use external hosting services and security providers who process your data.

8. Security Measures

We employ various security measures, including encryption, firewalls, and access controls, to protect your data from unauthorised access, alteration, or destruction. Although we strive to keep the site secure, no online service can guarantee complete security.

9. Your Responsibilities

By using our website, you agree that any files you download or resources you access are at your own risk. We cannot be held responsible for any damages or loss of data that may occur.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes to our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons.
