Privacy Policy

Last Updated: August 2023

Thank you for visiting https://hanaiproject.com (“us”, “we”, or “our”). This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information when you use our website. By accessing or using our website, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect

We may collect both personally identifiable information and non-personally identifiable information when you interact with our website. Personally identifiable information may include your name, email address, and any other information you voluntarily provide. Non-personally identifiable information includes technical information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, and usage patterns.

Use of Information

We use the collected information for the following purposes:

  • To provide and maintain our website’s functionality.
  • To personalize your experience on our website.
  • To respond to your inquiries, comments, or requests.
  • To send you promotional materials, updates, and newsletters (if you opt-in).
  • To monitor and analyze website usage to improve our services.

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.

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 who 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 do you have over your data

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

Where your data is sent

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

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience. These technologies help us analyze usage patterns, gather demographic information, and improve our services. You can control how cookies are used through your browser settings.

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.

Data Sharing

We may share your information with third parties only under the following circumstances:

  • With service providers who assist in the operation and maintenance of our website.
  • When required by law or to protect our rights and interests.
  • With your consent.
  • We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.

Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of these sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

Data Security

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

Children’s Privacy

Our website is not intended for individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us, and we will promptly delete the information.
