Who We Are
Our website address is https://www.patronus-consalting.net.
Comments
When visitors leave comments, we collect the information entered into the comment form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist in spam detection.
An anonymized hash generated from your email may be provided to the Gravatar service to check whether you’re using it. You can read their privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes visible alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images, please remove any embedded location data (EXIF GPS) beforehand. Visitors to the site could download and extract location information from these images.
Cookies
Leaving a comment lets you opt-in to storing your name, email, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience and will last for one year.
Visiting our login page sets a temporary cookie to detect if your browser accepts cookies; it contains no personal data and is discarded after you close the browser.
Logging in sets up several cookies to retain your credentials and screen preferences. Login cookies last for two days, screen option cookies for a year. Choosing “Remember Me” extends login persistence to two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.
If you edit or publish content, an additional cookie containing the post ID is saved—this contains no personal data and expires in 24 hours.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, or articles). Embedded content behaves as if you visited the other website, which may collect data, use cookies, embed tracking, and monitor your interactions—especially if you’re logged into those services.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email.
How Long We Retain Your Data
Comments and associated metadata are stored indefinitely to help recognize and approve future comments automatically.
If you register for an account, we store the personal data you provide in your user profile. Users can see, edit, or delete this information at any time—except for their username. Website administrators have access to this data and may also modify it.
Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account or have posted comments, you can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, or request its deletion. This excludes data we’re obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security reasons.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked by automated spam detection services and other security filters.
How We Protect Your Data
We take the protection of your personal information seriously. Our website implements SSL encryption and secure server hosting. Administrative access is restricted, and we conduct regular updates and security checks to guard against vulnerabilities.
Third-Party Services
We may use third-party service providers (e.g., for analytics or payment processing). These providers are only given access to the data necessary to perform their functions and are obligated to handle your information in accordance with applicable privacy regulations.
Policy Updates
We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our services. We encourage you to review this page regularly to stay informed about how we protect your information.
