Who We Are
Welcome to OfinIT! Our website address is https://ofinit.com. We value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information.
Comments
When you leave a comment on our website, we collect the information you provide, including your comment content, IP address, and browser user agent string. This helps us detect and prevent spam.
If you use the Gravatar service, an anonymized string generated from your email address (also known as a hash) may be shared with Gravatar to verify your profile. You can review Gravatar’s privacy policy here. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible alongside it.
Media Uploads
If you upload images to our website, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS) in the images. Visitors can download and extract any location data from images on our site, which could potentially reveal sensitive information.
Cookies
We use cookies to enhance your experience on our website. Here’s how they work:
- Comment Cookies: If you leave a comment, you can choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies. This saves you from re-entering your details in future comments. These cookies will last for one year.
- Login Cookies: When you visit our login page, a temporary cookie checks if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.
- Session & Preference Cookies: After logging in, we set cookies to remember your login details and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen option cookies remain for one year. Selecting “Remember Me” keeps you logged in for two weeks.
- Post Edit Cookies: If you edit or publish an article, a cookie will be saved to identify the post ID you’ve edited. This cookie contains no personal data and expires after one day.
You can manage cookie settings through your browser at any time.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Our articles may include embedded content like videos, images, or articles from other websites. This embedded content behaves as if you visited the external site directly.
These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, and monitor your interaction with the content, especially if you’re logged in to those sites.
How We Share Your Data
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security purposes.
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties unless required by law or with your explicit consent.
Data Retention Period
- Comments: When you leave a comment, we retain the comment and its metadata indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments without holding them in a moderation queue.
- Registered Users: For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profiles. You can view, update, or delete your information at any time, except for your username, which cannot be changed. Website administrators also have access to view and modify this information.
Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account on our website or have left comments, you have the right to:
- Request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you’ve provided
- Request the deletion of your personal data from our records
This does not apply to data we’re required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be reviewed through an automated spam detection service to help maintain the quality of content on our site.
