Who we are
Welcome to Imago ConnectHub. Our digital home is located at https://connecthub.ee, a space dedicated to fostering connections and community.
Comments
When you share your thoughts with us through comments, we collect the details provided in the comments form. To enhance our spam detection efforts, we also gather your IP address and browser user agent string.
To see if you’re using the Gravatar service, we might send an anonymized string (also known as a hash) created from your email address to Gravatar. Their privacy policy can be reviewed here. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes publicly visible alongside your comment.
Media
For those looking to add a visual touch to their comments by uploading images, please ensure you remove any embedded location data (EXIF GPS) to protect your privacy. Remember, uploaded images are accessible, and their embedded location data can be extracted by website visitors.
Cookies
Engaging with our site by leaving a comment? You have the option to save your details (name, email address, and website) in cookies for convenience, sparing you from re-entering your information for future comments. These cookies last one year.
Upon visiting our login page, a temporary cookie checks your browser’s cookie acceptance; this contains no personal data and disappears once you close your browser. For those logging in, we store cookies to remember login details and screen display choices, with login cookies set for two days and screen options for a year. Choosing “Remember Me” keeps your login active for two weeks, while logging out removes these cookies.
Editing or publishing an article places an additional cookie in your browser, marking the edited article’s ID without storing personal data, expiring after 1 day.
Embedded content from other websites
Our articles might include embedded content like videos, images, and articles. These elements function as if visiting the originating website, which could collect data on you, employ cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including if you’re logged in to that site.
Data sharing
In the event of a password reset request, your IP address will be included in the reset email to enhance security.
Data retention
Comments and their metadata are kept indefinitely, allowing us to automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments. For registered users (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their profiles. Users can manage their personal information at any time, though username changes are restricted. Site administrators can also view and edit this information.
Your data rights
Should you have an account or have left comments, you’re entitled to request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you’ve provided. You can also request the deletion of any personal data we hold about you, with the exception of data we’re obligated to maintain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Comment screening may be facilitated through an automated spam detection service to maintain the integrity of our site.
