Privacy Policy

Welcome to our privacy policy page

At Assistive Technology Innovation Wiki, we welcome you to our privacy page. Here, you will find comprehensive information about our organisation, including our commitment to your privacy and data security.


This page is designed to inform you about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit our website or engage in transactions with us.
We believe in transparency and strive to ensure our practices uphold your privacy rights. By understanding our policies, you can feel confident about how your data is handled during your interactions with us.


Thank you for taking the time to learn more about our privacy practices.


Who We Are?


Our website address is: https://ukstudyconnect.info.


Comments


When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data in the comments form, the visitor’s IP address, and the browser user agent string to help detect spam.


An anonymised 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.


Media


When uploading images to the website, ensuring they do not contain embedded location data, such as EXIF GPS information, is vital. This data can provide visitors with specific geographic coordinates where the photo was taken.


Since users can download and extract this location data from images on the site, it’s crucial to protect your privacy and prevent the unintended sharing of your location. To enhance your security and privacy, consider checking your images for embedded metadata before uploading.


Cookies


If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience, so 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 set up several cookies to save your login information and screen display choices. Login cookies last two days, and screen options cookies last 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.


Suppose you edit or publish an article; an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.


Embedded content from other websites


Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves like the visitor visiting another website.


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.


Who do we share your data with?


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


How long will we retain your data?


If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognise and approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.


We store the personal information provided by users who register on our website (if any) in their user profiles.


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 do 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 provided.


You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we must keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.


Where is your data sent?


An automated spam detection service is designed to analyse and review visitors’ comments. This system scans for various characteristics that may indicate spam, such as repetitive content, excessive links, or suspicious wording.


The service helps prioritise genuine user interactions by utilising advanced algorithms while filtering out potentially harmful or irrelevant comments.
