WHO WE ARE
Welcome to Plan-It Earth! Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information we collect, how we use it, and your choices regarding your data. The website https://plan-it.earth serves as our hub for a constellation of online channels.
personal data WE COLLECT and why
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.
account information
If you create a user account or subscribe to our newsletter, we collect registration details like your name and email.
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.
Additionally, we use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance user experience and analyze website traffic. These are used for:
- Google Analytics to monitor website performance and visitor trends.
- Google AdSense to display relevant ads.
- Affiliate marketing tracking.
- Embedded content (such as YouTube videos) that may collect data about user interactions.
third-party services
We currently, or may in the future, use third-party services that collect, store, and process data, including:
- Google Analytics for website traffic analysis.
- Google AdSense for serving advertisements.
- Affiliate marketing programs that track clicks and purchases.
- Embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.) from platforms like YouTube, which may collect data about you. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These services have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them.
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.
How We Use Your Information
We use collected personal data to:
- Respond to comments or inquiries.
- Improve our website and content.
- Send newsletters or promotional content (if you opt-in).
- Display relevant advertisements.
Who we share your data with
We do not sell or share your personal data. However, third-party services like Google and affiliate networks may collect and process data based on your interactions with our website.
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 that 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 you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can disable cookies through your browser settings. You can opt out of targeted ads via Google’s Ad Settings. You can also 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.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
