Who we are
At WhyNot.BuildUnderstanding.com, we value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information and we hope you do ours. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you visit our website and use our services and how you may use (or not) content on this site. By using this website, you agree to the terms and practices described in this Privacy Policy.
Content Use and Restrictions
All content on whynot.buildunderstanding.com, including articles, images, videos, and other materials, is owned by us or our content partners and is protected by copyright laws. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, or republish any content from our website without prior written permission.
Any unauthorized use or redistribution of our content is strictly prohibited and may result in legal action. If you wish to use any content from our site for any purpose, please use the Contact Us form to request permission.
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. All comments are moderated by a human being and posted when determined to be interesting, useful, appropriate, curious, hilarious, or similar.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
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 that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
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.
What rights you have over your data
If you 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 your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
