Privacy Policy for Explore Kebbi

Who we are

Our website address is: https://explorekebbi.com.ng.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data provided in the comments form, the visitor’s IP address, and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. An anonymized string created from the visitor’s email address (hash) may also be provided to the Gravatar service to determine if the visitor is using it. 

Media

If visitors upload images to the website, they should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Website visitors can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

If visitors leave a comment on our site, they may opt-in to saving their name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for visitors’ convenience so that they do not have to fill in their details again when they leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If visitors visit the login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if their browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when the visitor closes their browser.

When visitors log in, we will also set up several cookies to save their login information and screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If the visitor selects “Remember Me”, their login will persist for two weeks. If visitors log out of their account, the login cookies will be removed.

If visitors edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in their browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article the visitor just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.) from other websites. 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 visitors, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor visitors’ interaction with that embedded content, including tracking their interaction with the embedded content if they have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

If visitors request a password reset, their IP address will be included in the reset email.

How long we retain your data

If visitors 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 visitors have an account on this site or have left comments, they can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about them, including any data they have provided to us. Visitors can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about them. 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.
