Who we are

The following document outlines the FK Interactive policy on how our website and/or apps collect and uses data that is shared or collected while an individual visits our site.

This document is updated (as of this revision, June 28, 2021) as needed and should be read carefully. If you have any questions about this policy, please contact us using the information at the end of this document.

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.

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.

Who we share your data with

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

What personal information do we collect from the people that visit our blog, website or app?

When do we collect information?

We collect information from you when you:

  • Visit our web pages

  • Place an order
  • Contact us
  • Subscribe to a newsletter

  • Enter information on our site

How your information is used?

We may use such information in the following ways:

How your information is protected?

All visitor information is encrypted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. We do not store credit/debit card information on our systems.

Only a limited number of administrators have special access to our dashboards and customer lists.  Various security measures are in place to protect when a user places an order enters, submits, or accesses their information to maintain the safety of your personal information. At no point are processed transactions done through a gateway provider stored, permanently saved, or processed on our servers.

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.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, 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.

Third Party Disclosures

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to third parties your personally identifiable information, unless we provide you with advance notice. This does not include website hosting partners and other parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release your information when we feel it is appropriate to comply with law enforcement, to enforce website policies, or to protect our rights, or the others’ rights, property, or safety.

However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.

We may leverage Google Analytics, or other third party tracking solutions to gather and analyze data related to how visitors find and access our site. This information is used only to manage and improve our website.
