Effective date: July 1, 2024

This page outlines our policies about the collection, use, and share your personal data when you use our Service and the choices you have associated with that data.

Who we are

Our website address is https://themarketingalpha.com.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the information entered in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to aid in spam detection.

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 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 you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last 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, we use cookies to store your login details and screen preferences. Login cookies remain active for two days, while screen options cookies last for a year. Choosing ‘Remember Me’ extends your login for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.

If you edit or publish an article, a cookie will be added to your browser. This cookie contains no personal information and simply stores the post ID of the edited article. It will expire after one 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 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.

Who do we share your data with

Your email address is a valuable piece of information that we handle with utmost care. When you provide us with your email address, we use it solely for internal marketing purposes, such as keeping you informed about new PR updates, newsletters, and other relevant subscriptions.

We do not share your email address with any third parties outside of our organization. Rest assured that your privacy and the security of your personal information are of paramount importance to us. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the use of your data, please feel free to contact us.

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 who 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 do you have over your data?

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of your personal data, including any information you’ve provided to us. You can also ask us to delete any personal data we hold about you. This request excludes data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security reasons.

Where is your data sent?

Visitor comments may undergo automated review to identify and prevent spam.
