What Personal Data We Collect and Why

  1. Comments

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

    An anonymized string (also known as a hash) derived from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to verify if you are using it. The privacy policy for the Gravatar service is available here. Upon approval of your comment, your profile picture becomes publicly visible in the context of your comment.

  2. Media

    If you upload images to the website, particularly for obtaining a quote, we advise against including images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Website visitors can download and extract any location data from images on the site.

  3. Contact Forms

    Our website features various contact forms for quote requests. The information you provide through these forms helps us to offer accurate quotations and to contact you regarding our services. This information is not shared with third parties and is used exclusively for fulfilling our service obligations.

  4. Cookies

    If you comment on our site, you may opt-in to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience, so you do not have to fill in your details again for future comments. These cookies last for one year.

    Upon login, we set cookies to save your login information and display choices, with login cookies lasting two days and screen options cookies for a year. Selecting “Remember Me” extends your login for two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.

  5. Embedded Content from Other Websites

    Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Such content from other websites behaves exactly as if the visitor has visited the other website, which may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged into that website.

  6. Analytics

    We utilize Google Analytics and Hotjar to collect anonymized user data and monitor website performance, aiding in service improvement. This data includes metrics such as visitor numbers and page visit durations, without revealing any personal details.

For registered users (if any), we store the personal information provided in their profiles. Users can manage their personal information at any time, except for changing their username. Website administrators can also view and edit this information.
