1. What personal data we collect and why we collect it

We collect the following data about users: (1) information that you voluntarily submit to us (“User-Supplied Information”); and (2) technical data automatically collected from all visitors (described below under “Passive Data Collection”).

User-Supplied Information. We may collect user-supplied information when you choose to provide us with your Personal information, including when you send us an email asking a question, post a comment, submit a form to receive our email newsletter, or make a donation.

Passive Data Collection. Like most web-based services, we automatically receive and record information from your browser when you use the Intercontinental Cry Website. We may use a variety of methods, including clear GIFs or Pixels (also known as “web beacons”) and “cookies”, to collect this information. We use both session and persistent cookies. The information that we may collect with these automated methods may include, for example, your IP address, cookie information, a unique device or user ID, browser type, system type, the content and pages that you access on the Intercontinental Cry Website, the frequency and duration of your visits to the Intercontinental Cry Website, and the “referring URL” (i.e., the page from which you navigated to the Intercontinental Cry Website). We may also use cookies on the Intercontinental Cry Website to store session validators on your hard drive. If we directly combine any information gathered through passive means with Personal information, we treat the combined information as Personal information under this Privacy Policy. Otherwise, we use information collected by passive means in aggregated forms.

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. Review the Gravatar service privacy policy. 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.

We periodically make use of popunders on our website. If you choose to close the popunder, we will set a temporary cookie to make sure you no longer see the popunder for a period no longer than 30 days.

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 have an account and you log in to this site, 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 tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

You may review information about Google’s privacy practices with respect to Google Analytics or opt out of Google Analytics tracking.
