This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit www.nigelseedauthor.com (the “Site”).
Personal Information We Collect
When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”
We collect Device Information using the following technologies:
- “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
- “Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.
- “Web beacons,” “tags,” and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site.
When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information.
Privacy
In order to process information requests, information about the user must be collected and logged for the purposes of retaining an audit log. The request system is based on an individual's email address which will be used to link the request to an existing site user if able.
Joomla Core Capabilities
- All requests to a Joomla website start a session which stores the IP address in the session data and creates a session cookie in the user's browser. The IP address is used as a security measure to help protect against potential session hijacking attacks and this information is deleted once the session has expired and its data purged. The session cookie's name is based on a randomly generated hash and therefore does not have a constant identifier. The session cookie is destroyed once the session has expired or the user has exited their browser.
- When a network connection is available, a Joomla installation will attempt to communicate with the joomla.org servers for various capabilities, to include:
- Checking for updates for the Joomla application
- Help screens for core Joomla extensions
- The Install from Web service (opt-in)
- The statistics collection server (opt-in)
Authentication - Cookie
In conjunction with a plugin which supports a "Remember Me" feature, such as the "System - Remember Me" plugin, this plugin creates a cookie on the user's client if a "Remember Me" checkbox is selected when logging into the website. This cookie can be identified with the prefix `joomla_remember_me` and is used to automatically log users into the website when they visit and are not already logged in.
GDPR Component Capabilities
Logs of user changes: whenever a change in a user profile occurs, for example if a user changes his personal data, all changes must be tracked and logged. The GDPR component keeps track of every change for personal data including custom fields. The logs report can be exported in CSV and Excel formats.
Logs of consents: the logs of user consents is a global system that allows to keep track of all consents given by users, either logged in or logged out, to every form in which you integrate the privacy policy checkbox generated by the GDPR component. The logs report can be exported in CSV and Excel formats.
Cookie consent: to be compliant with the EU Cookie Law you need an effective solution to really block local cookies and third-party cookies before the consent is given by users, even supporting revocable consent and cookie categorization.
Logs of cookie consents: the GDPR component is able to track even consents given for the cookie usage both by visitors and registered users of your website.
Consents registry: you can generate and export a registry including consent details given by users that is an essential document if requested by the Data Protection Commissioner.
Data breach notifications: in the case that a data breach occurs, you can mark violated profiles and quickly notify users and the Data Protection Commissioner sending them an alert email.
Record of processing activities: the GDPR component is able to manage the record of processing activities and its generation in both Excel and OpenOffice format to be compliant with the EU GDPR.
Fully automated deletion and export: by default the deletion and export of a user profile is fully managed by the GDPR component and self-made by the user so you don't have to worry about manual operations. Optionally you can choose to manage deletion and export manually and receive a request by users that is integrated with the Joomla! Privacy Component.
Revocable consent: you can allow users to revoke their consent to each privacy policy consent and even force already registered users to explicitly accept the privacy policy on the first login.
