Who We Are

Our website address is: https://smartmes.fi.

Comments

When users leave comments on the website, we collect the information provided in the comment form and the user’s IP address and browser version information to facilitate spam detection.

When visitors leave a comment on this website, we collect the information visible in the comment fields, the IP address, and the browser version-related information. An anonymized hash created from the email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to determine if the commenter is a user of the service. The Gravatar service privacy policy can be found at https://automattic.com/privacy/.

Media

If you upload images to this 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

If you leave a comment on the website, you can choose to save your name, email address, and URL in a cookie. This feature increases convenience, as the form does not have to be filled out again for each comment. The cookie information will be removed from the browser after one year.

If you have an account and log in to the website, a temporary cookie will be set to determine whether your browser supports cookies. This cookie does not contain personal information and will be removed when the browser window is closed.

When you log in, we will set several cookies that store your login and display settings. Login cookies will be removed after two days, and display settings cookies will expire after one year. If you select “Remember me” during login, your login information will be stored for two weeks. If you log out, the login-related cookies will be removed at the same time.

If you publish an article or edit an existing one, a cookie containing the ID of the edited article will be stored in the browser. The cookie will expire after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this website may contain embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles) from other websites. Opening embedded content from other websites is similar to visiting a third-party website yourself.

These websites may collect information about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking cookies, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you are logged in as a user on the website.

Who We Share Your Data With

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

How Long Do We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata will be retained indefinitely. This is done to automatically recognize and approve subsequent comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

We retain the user profile information of registered users (if any) for as long as they have an account on the website. All users can see, edit, or delete their own personal information at any time, except they cannot change their username. Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
