Introduction
Welcome to the Notre Gabon website.
We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of the personal data you entrust to us.
This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, how it is used, and what your rights are regarding this data.
We are active on the following platforms:
Comments
When you leave a comment on our site, the data entered in the comment form, along with your IP address and browser user agent, are collected to help us detect unwanted or spam comments.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you use it.
The privacy policy of the Gravatar service is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible publicly next to your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, avoid uploading images that include EXIF GPS location data.
Visitors can download and extract location information from images published on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies.
This is for your convenience so that you do not have to re-enter this information for future comments.
These cookies expire after one year.
- Login: When you visit the login page, a temporary cookie is created to check if your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.
- Session: When you log in, several cookies are set to save your login information and display preferences.
- Login cookie lifespan: 2 days
- Display preference cookie lifespan: 1 year
- If you check “Remember me,” your login cookie is kept for 2 weeks.
- When you log out, the login cookie is deleted.
- Publication: When you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is stored (it contains no personal data) — it simply stores the ID of the post and expires after 1 day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this website may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.).
Embedded content from other websites behaves the same way as if the visitor were visiting those other websites directly.
These external sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking tools, and monitor your interaction with their content — especially if you have an account and are logged in to those platforms.
Use and Transmission of Your Personal Data
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the password reset email.
We do not share your personal data with third parties without your consent, except when required by law.
Data Retention Periods
- Comments: Comments and their metadata are stored indefinitely so that we can automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments instead of holding them in moderation.
- User Accounts: For registered users, personal information is stored in their user profiles. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Site administrators can also view and modify that information.
Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account or have left comments on our site, you may request:
- A file containing all the personal data we hold about you;
- The deletion of your personal data (except those we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes).
To exercise these rights, please contact us via our official social media channels or the contact form available on the website.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Data Security
We make every effort to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure.
Our measures include:
- The use of the secure HTTPS protocol,
- Restricted administrative access,
- Regular website backups.
Changes to This Policy
We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time.
Any updates will be published on this same page, along with the date of the last revision.
