Learn about your data rights and how we prioritize your privacy in every interaction.

Who We Are and Our Commitment to Your Privacy

At Engineer’s Team, we prioritize your privacy and understand the importance of protecting your personal information. As part of our professional commitment, we maintain a transparent approach to data management. Our website address is https://engrteam.com. In everything we do, we follow industry standards to ensure your data is handled securely and responsibly.

Comment Data Collection and Protection

When you leave a comment on our website, we collect information provided in the comment form, including your name, email address, and the content of your comment. Additionally, we gather the IP address and browser user agent string to assist in spam detection. This information is necessary to ensure a safe and spam-free environment for our users.

To further protect your privacy, an anonymized string (also known as a hash) created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. After your comment is approved, your Gravatar profile picture, if you have one, will be visible alongside your comment. For more details, you can refer to Gravatar’s privacy policy at https://support.gravatar.com/profiles/profile-access/.

Media Uploads and Data Privacy

If you upload images to Engineer’s Team, we recommend avoiding media that contains embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to our website may be able to download and extract this data from images, which could compromise your privacy. To protect your data, ensure that location data is removed before uploading any files.

Cookies: Enhancing Your Experience While Protecting Your Data

Cookies are small files stored on your device that help enhance your experience on our site. At Engineer’s Team, we use cookies to save your preferences and login information, making it more convenient for you to return to our site without re-entering your details.

For instance, if you leave a comment, you can opt to save your name, email, and website in cookies. These cookies will last for one year, allowing for a seamless experience when you visit our site again.

We also use temporary cookies to determine if your browser accepts them when you visit our login page. These cookies are discarded as soon as you close your browser. For logged-in users, several cookies are set up to save your login details and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen option cookies last for a year. You can choose the “Remember Me” option to stay logged in for two weeks.

Embedded Content from Third-Party Websites

Our articles may include embedded content like videos, images, or articles from other websites. Please note that this embedded content behaves in the same way as if you had visited the third-party website directly. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, or track your interaction with the embedded content.

We strongly advise you to review the privacy policies of these third-party sites to understand how they manage and protect your data.

How Long We Retain Your Data

We retain the personal data you provide through comments and user registrations indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically and maintain your user profile efficiently. However, registered users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for their username. Our website administrators also have access to manage and edit this data as needed.

Your Rights Over Your Data

You have the right to request access to the personal data we store about you. If you’ve left comments or have an account with us, you can request an exported file of your personal data, including anything you’ve shared with us. You also have the right to request that we delete any of your personal data, although this does not apply to data we must retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments are often checked through an automated spam detection service to ensure security. This helps us keep the site safe while maintaining a user-friendly environment. We do not share your data with third-party organizations for commercial purposes, and any data collected is strictly used to improve your experience on our site.
