What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitors 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 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.

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.

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.

If you have an account and you log in to this site, 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, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you 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.). 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.

Analytics

We use a few tools to understand how our store is used and to measure our advertising:

• Google Analytics records the pages you visit, the products you view or add to your cart, and general information about your device, browser and approximate location (city level). We keep this data for 14 months and use it to improve the store. It does not include your name, email or payment details.
• Google Ads places cookies that tell us when a visit or purchase came from one of our ads, and may show you our ads on other sites (remarketing). When you place an order, we send Google the order value and products, together with a scrambled (hashed) copy of your email address and phone number, so Google can tell whether one of our ads led to it. Google cannot read the scrambled values.
• HubSpot provides our live chat and keeps a record of messages you send us.
• Our own store analytics record visits and orders on our own servers, to run and improve the store. We do not sell this information.

You can block or delete these cookies in your browser settings. You can turn off personalised Google ads at adssettings.google.com, and stop Google Analytics with Google’s opt-out browser add-on. For any question about your information, or to ask us to delete it, contact us at sales@sourceits.com.

Who we share your data with

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 an account on this site or 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 we send your data

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

 

Google Customer Match and Privacy Preferences

We use Google Customer Match to create and maintain customer audiences using information customers provide directly when making purchases or registering accounts.

Depending on availability and eligibility, this information may include email addresses, telephone numbers, names, and mailing addresses.

Customer information is securely processed and shared with Google for matching purposes. Identifying information may be hashed before transmission using Google’s required procedures. Hashed information remains personal information.

Customer Match helps us recognize existing customers, manage advertising audiences, measure advertising performance, and improve campaign optimization.

Customer Match is not used to send promotional emails or text messages directly to customers.

Customers may manage their Customer Match preferences through My Account → Privacy Preferences or by contacting us.

When customers opt out, we will stop including their information in future Customer Match uploads and submit applicable requests to remove their existing audience memberships.

For customers in Quebec, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and other countries outside Canada and the United States, Customer Match is off unless the customer has given express consent, at checkout or in My Account → Privacy Preferences.
