Privacy Policy
Your draft privacy policy is detailed and covers a wide range of important aspects. Here are some adjustments and suggestions for each section to ensure clarity, compliance, and tone consistency:
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy outlines how I, Miroslav Glavić, collect, use, and protect your data when you visit my websites, including but not limited to the following domains: miroslavglavic.com, miroslavglavic.ca, miroslavglavic.net, miroslavglavic.org, miroslavglavich.com, miroslavglavich.ca, miroslavglavich.net, and miroslavglavich.org.
2. Data Collection
I collect two types of information from visitors:
- Personal Data: This includes any identifiable information such as your name, email address, and IP address, which is automatically collected when you leave comments. If you leave a comment, you are free to use any name you identify with, including your secret spy name if you are on a mission. Please note that while your IP address is recorded, it is not publicly visible, and I cannot trace your exact location.
- Non-Personal Data: WP Statistics collects anonymous data like browser type, operating system, device model, and country origin. I use this information for site analytics, and it does not identify individuals.
3. Use of Data
Your data is primarily used to improve the user experience on my websites and understand which content is most popular. There is no use of personal data for marketing, targeting ads, or other forms of personalization.
4. Data Sharing
- Third Parties: I do not use external analytics services like Google Analytics, and I do not have third-party payment processors on this website. However, affiliate links or advertisements on the site may track your clicks to give credit to me. The affiliate links policy can be found at miroslavglavic.com/about/affiliates.
- Legal Obligations: Your data may be shared if legally required, such as to comply with Canadian, Finnish, or other European Union authorities. I will resist any requests I believe are unjust. Requests from dictatorial or authoritarian regimes will be ignored, and I will do everything within my power to protect your data.
5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
WP Statistics tracks user data in a privacy-conscious way. I aim to minimize the use of cookies, and you are free to disable them in your browser settings. You can also use VPNs or other privacy tools, and I will not be upset by that.
6. Data Security
I use strong security practices to protect your data, including secure passwords, SSL encryption through Let’s Encrypt, and timely updates to plugins and themes. In the event of a data breach, I will notify users through social media and website posts.
7. User Rights
If you would like your comments or other personal information removed, please contact me from the email address associated with your comment, and I will remove the data within seven business days. Given that I do not collect personal data in general, consent withdrawal or portability requests are not typically relevant. However, if necessary, I can provide a copy of your data in PDF format.
8. International Data Transfers
Though the server is located in Finland and I manage the website from Toronto, Canada, your data remains protected under applicable GDPR and PIPEDA regulations. I do not engage in data transfers beyond what is necessary to manage the website.
9. Children’s Privacy
My website is not intended for individuals under the age of eighteen. Any comment discovered to have been made by someone under eighteen will be removed. This applies even if the individual has since reached adulthood; I reserve the right to remove all such comments.
10. Retention of Data
Unless otherwise requested, comments and other user-generated content are retained indefinitely. If you wish to have your data deleted, you may contact me, and I will act on the request.
11. External Links
My websites may contain links to other websites, and I am not responsible for their privacy practices. Please review the privacy policies of external websites before interacting with them.
12. Changes to the Privacy Policy
I reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Please check this page periodically to stay informed of any updates.
13. Contact Information
If you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy, you may reach me via:
- Phone: 1 (647) 424-3225
- Contact Form: miroslavglavic.com/contact
14. Legal Bases for Processing Data (GDPR)
For users within the EU, I process your personal data based on legitimate interest or legal obligations. I do not sell or share your data unless required by law, and even in those cases, I will fight against unjust demands.
