Who We Are

Our website address is: https://www.vict.eu.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data entered in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent, to help detect spam.

If you use Gravatar, an anonymized string (a hash) based on your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service. For more information about their privacy policy, you can visit: Gravatar Privacy Policy. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible next to your comment.

Media

If you are a registered user, please take care when uploading images to the site: ensure that you don’t upload images containing embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download these images and view any embedded location data.

Cookies

When you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in a cookie. This is for your convenience so that you don’t have to fill in your details again when leaving another comment. These cookies are valid 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, several cookies are stored to save your login information and screen preferences. Login cookies are valid for 2 days, while screen settings cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login information is saved for 2 weeks. When you log out, the login cookies are removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is stored in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data; it simply includes the post ID of the article you edited. This cookie expires after 1 day.

Embedded Content from Other Sites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other sites behaves in the same way as if the visitor has visited the other site.

These sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged into that site.

Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How Long We Retain Your Data

When you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically rather than holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our site (if applicable), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Site administrators can also view and edit this information.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request 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 obligated to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
