Who we are

Our website address is https://tie.international.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the website, we collect the data displayed in the comment form as well as the visitor's IP address and browser user agent in order to detect spam.

An anonymized string may be created that comes from your email address (also known as a hash) and made available to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service's privacy policy can be found here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment has been approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public in connection with your comment.

Media

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

Cookies

When you leave a comment on our website, you can choose to save your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you don't have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies are valid for one year.

When you visit our login page, a temporary cookie is set to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain any personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, several cookies are also set up to store your login information and your screen display options. Login cookies remain valid for two days and screen options cookies remain valid for one year. If you select "Stay signed in", your login will remain valid for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

When you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is stored in your browser. This cookie does not contain any personal data and only indicates the post ID of the edited article. It expires after one day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this website may contain embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if the visitor had 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.

With whom do we share your data?

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

How long we store your data

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

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

What rights do you have over your data?

If you have an account on this website 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 delete any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data that we are required to keep for administrative, legal or security purposes.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments can be checked by an automated spam detection service.
