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.

Contact forms
Visitors will have use of a visitor contact form page to submit inquiries. All data collected will provide the necessary information to respond to inquiries as well as help with spam detection. The contact/email threads will also be stored in order to retain a history of communications to more appropriately respond to inquiries. All contact forms include a required checkbox to accept our privacy policy prior to submission. A recaptcha feature is also part of the forms to ensure spam protection.

Who we share your data with
In order to accurately and efficiently serve our clients and visitors to our website, we share the data and communications you provide with our Vertical Aspect team and partners.
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 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 we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
How we protect your data
Our website utilizes security and tracking programs in order to provide data protection for visitors as well as the website itself. Our contact pages and other pages utilize Recaptcha function to block bots and other problems. Another program blocks failed login attempts for an IP address after reaching maximum retries allowed. This program and our host provider also provide the ability to blacklist any IP address of concern. While no online site or service is 100% secure, we work very hard to protect information against unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction, and take reasonable measures to do so, such as noted above.
