3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share it:

  • With service providers who support operations such as transportation or inspections
  • With technology partners who help maintain our website and services
  • If legally required or necessary to protect our rights, property, or users

All partners are required to use your information only as necessary and to maintain its confidentiality.

4. How We Protect Your Information

We implement industry-standard safeguards to protect your data, including:

  • Secure servers and encrypted communications
  • Access control and authentication measures
  • Regular system updates and security monitoring

While we take your privacy seriously, no method of internet transmission is 100% secure. Please exercise caution when sharing personal data online.

5. Your Rights and Choices

  • Access, update, or correct your personal information
  • Request deletion of your personal data, where legally allowed
  • Opt out of receiving promotional communications

To make any of these requests, email us at [email protected] or use the contact form on our website.

6. Comments

If visitors leave comments on our website, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam. 

7. Media

If you upload images to the website, avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Other visitors can download and extract this data from your images.

8. Cookies

If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies last one year.

If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie determines if your browser accepts cookies. It is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, cookies will save your login and display preferences:

  • Login cookies last two days (or two weeks if “Remember Me” is selected)
  • Display preference cookies last one year
  • Logging out removes login cookies

Editing or publishing an article sets a cookie with no personal data, which expires after one day.

9. Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if you visited the other site directly.

These sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction—especially if you’re logged in to their services.

10. Who We Share Data With

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

11. How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely so we can recognize and approve future comments automatically.

For registered users (if applicable), we store the personal information in your user profile. You can view, edit, or delete your personal data at any time (except for your username). Site admins can also access and edit this information.

12. Your Data Rights

If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of your data or request that we delete it. This excludes data we must keep for administrative, legal, or security reasons.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we’ll post the new version here. Please review periodically.
