Who we are

Our website address is https://tractorguide.net.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the website, their data is collected through the comment form, including their IP address and browser user agent string. This helps detect spam. A unique anonymized series created from the visitor’s email address may also be supplied to the Gravatar service, enabling approval of profile pictures and comments. For more information about Gravatar’s privacy policy, please visit https://tractorguide.net/privacy-policy/.

Media

It is important that users of the website are aware of the potential risks associated with including EXIF GPS data in photos they upload onto the website. Visitors can easily extract and access this location data, which could lead to a breach of privacy or security if sensitive information is revealed. To avoid any such issues, it is highly recommended that users exclude any location data from photos before uploading them onto the website to ensure safety and confidentiality.

Cookies

Our site provides convenience to our users by allowing them to save their name, email address, and website in cookies when they leave a comment. These cookies will last for one year; however, if the user visits the login page, a temporary cookie is set that does not contain personal data and is discarded once the browser closes.

Additionally, additional cookies are set up to save login information and screen display choices when logging in. Login cookies last for two days, while screen options cookies have an expiry of one year. If “Remember Me” is selected, then details are stored for two weeks unless the user logs out from their account, which causes the removal of all credentials from the device immediately. When editing or publishing an article, an extra cookie containing no personal data other than the post ID of the revised article is saved into your browser with an expiration after 24 hours.

Embedded content from other websites

This website may feature embedded content from third-party websites, such as videos, images, and other articles. This type of content behaves the same way if a visitor has visited the other website directly. Depending on their privacy policies, these third-party websites may collect data about users or deploy cookies to monitor user interactions with said embedded content. If an account is logged into that website, then it is possible that tracking of user activity about the implanted material could be taking place.

Who do we share your data with

If a user needs to reset their password, they can request the change, which will be sent to the email address associated with that particular IP address. This ensures that only an account’s legitimate owner can access it and make necessary changes.

How long we retain your data

Website commenting has become an essential part of online discourse. To create a positive user experience, website administrators retain comments and their associated metadata indefinitely. This helps identify any follow-up comments automatically without having to hold these in moderation queues.

Registered users can easily view, edit or delete personal information such as names or contact details stored within individual profiles on the site. Usernames cannot be changed, but website administrators can access this data if administrative purposes are needed.

What rights do you have over your data?

Users of this website have the right to request an exported file of their data held by the site. This includes any information they have provided when signing up for, utilizing, or commenting on the website. Users may also ask for all personal data stored about them to be erased unless there are legal or administrative reasons why it cannot be removed. It is essential that users understand their rights and can exercise them to protect their privacy.

Where is your data sent?

Comments may be screened through an automated spam detection service.
