Privacy and Cookie Policy

Who we are

We are committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of our website visitors. We do not sell, rent, or trade any data with other entities. This Privacy and Cookie Policy provides simplified information on when and why we collect your personal data, how we use it, the limited conditions under which we may disclose it to others, and how we keep it secure.

Cookies

Cookies are very small text files that are stored on your computer when you visit our website. We use a combination of session cookies and persistent cookies to track how you use and experience our website. This helps us build anonymous statistical data about how our website is performing and personalize our website content to you. You can find more information about cookies at: www.allaboutcookies.org

Marketing

We collect email addresses in exchange for free and paid downloads of content as a value for value exchange. If you submit your email address, you are providing direct consent to receive marketing emails from us. If you do not wish to receive marketing emails, you can unsubscribe at any time and are not required to purchase or download content.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should 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.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Access and corrections to personal information

You have the right to view the personal information that we hold about you. Additionally, if you believe the information we hold is inaccurate or incomplete, you may contact us to correct or complete it. To make such a request, please email support@nickraghebi.com and we will respond to the request. If this request is for your information, we will provide the information free of charge and usually within 30 days, though sometimes there can be delays which would be communicated. If a request is unfounded, excessive or repetitive, we reserve the right to charge a proportionate administration fee or cancel a request. 

Your right to be forgotten

You may request the deletion of any information we hold on you at any time. Any request for deletion, unlike unsubscribing from specific emails, is irreversible. We will lose record of you having ever been on our systems, including any previous instructions you have given us opting out of specific emails. If you re-join our system, by voluntarily providing your personal information, you will appear as a completely new subject. This does not affect your other rights in any way. To request deletion of your personal information, please email support@nickraghebi.com using the email address we hold for you.

Embedded content from other sites

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 and where we send your data

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

How long 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.

Links to other sites

This policy does not cover the links within this site linking to other websites. Those sites are not governed by this policy and if you have questions about how a site uses your information, you will need to check that site’s privacy statement.

Security

When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline. Information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a lock icon in the address bar and looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the web page. 

Changes to this policy

This policy is effective from 7/1/2021 and we may change this policy from time to time by updating this page.
