Privacy Policy

At Officio, we understand the importance of safeguarding the privacy of our visitors and customers. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, and how we protect your data.

 

What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It

 

We collect personal data to provide you with a better experience while using our website and to improve our services. The personal data we collect may include your name, email address, phone number, and shipping address. We may also collect your IP address, browser user agent string, and other information to help prevent spam.

 

Comments

 

If you leave a comment on our website, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with your IP address and browser user agent string to help prevent spam. We may use this information to improve our website’s user experience and to prevent spam.

 

Media

 

If you upload images to our website, we suggest that you 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

 

We use cookies to personalize your experience and to improve our website’s functionality. If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to save 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 our website may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.) from other websites. 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.

 

How Long Do 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.

 

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

 

If you have an account on our website 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.

 

Where We Send Your Data

 

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. We do not sell or share your personal information with any third-party companies or organizations. Your data is kept secure with us and is only used to provide you with a better user experience and improve our services.
