Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to JasonThatsMe (https://jasonthats.me/). This website is the personal portfolio of Jason T. Grioua. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting any personal data we may collect from you. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have in relation to it.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information in a few different ways:

  • Information You Provide to Us:
    • Comments: When you leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form (name, email address, and website), and also your IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
    • Contacting Us Directly: If you contact us via the email address provided on this site, we will collect your name, email address, and any other information you choose to provide in the body of your email.
  • Information We Collect Automatically:
    • Cookies: If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year. Cookies are small text files stored on your device; you can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent.
    • Embedded Content from Other Websites: Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos from YouTube, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Operate and maintain the website.
  • Respond to your inquiries and comments.
  • Prevent spam and monitor the security of the website.
  • Improve the user experience on our site.

4. Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell your personal data to third parties. Your information may be shared in the following limited circumstances:

  • Spam Detection: Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
  • Service Providers: We may share information with third-party service providers that help us operate the website, such as our hosting provider.

5. How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that contact us directly, we will retain that correspondence for a reasonable period for reference but will not use it for marketing purposes.

6. What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have left comments on this site, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

7. Contact Information

For any privacy-specific concerns or to exercise your data rights, please contact us at: [email protected].

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
