What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help 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.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Contact forms

Data entered and sent via the contact forms (“E-mail address” and “Name”) are used in order to be able to contact the persons who have left their information. Data collected via the forms are kept until the user requests deletion.

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.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, 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, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Audience statistics and measurements

Your browsing data is collected by the audience measurement tool Google Analytics. The aim is to analyse the behavior of Internet users on the website. Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which you will find the definition above.

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 register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Rights you own over your data

If you have an account or if you have left comments on the website, you can request to receive a file containing all the personal data we have about you, including those you have provided. You may also request the deletion of your personal data. This does not include data stored for administrative, legal or security purposes.

Transmission of your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Confidentiality and security of personal data

Personal data concerning you and collected by the website are only intended for palawan-sailing.com and will only be used within the framework of the explicit request via the form. Under no circumstances will the personal data entered and sent on the forms be transmitted, rented or marketed to third parties.

This website and personal data are hosted on 1&1 IONOS Cloud Inc.’s secure servers. The servers are protected by the latest SIEM and IDS/IPS technologies… However, no transmission or storage of personal data is ever completely secure. Consequently, we cannot guarantee the infallible security of the information transmitted or stored on the hosting servers.
