Who we are
Our website address is: https://www.kapstone-group.com.
When you leave a comment on our site, the data entered in the comment form, together with your IP address and your browser’s user agent, is collected to help us detect undesirable comments.
An anonymised string created from your e-mail address (also known as a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check whether you are using it. The Gravatar service confidentiality clauses are available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment has been validated, your profile photo will be publicly visible alongside your comment.
If you upload images to the site, we advise you to avoid uploading images containing EXIF data of GPS coordinates. People visiting your site may download and extract location data from these images.
If you leave a comment on our site, you will be asked to save your name, e-mail address and site in cookies. This is purely for your convenience so that you do not have to enter this information if you leave another comment later. These cookies expire after one year.
If you go to the login page, a temporary cookie will be created to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. It does not contain any personal data and will be deleted automatically when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will set a number of cookies to record your login information and screen preferences. The lifetime of a connection cookie is two days, that of a screen option cookie is one year. If you tick “Remember me”, your connection cookie will be kept for a fortnight. If you log out of your account, the connection cookie will be deleted.
By modifying or publishing a publication, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie does not contain any personal data. It simply indicates the ID of the publication you have just modified. It expires after one day.
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other sites behaves in the same way as if the visitor were visiting that other site.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking tools and track your interactions with this embedded content if you have a logged-in account on their website.
Use and transmission of your personal data
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This makes it possible to automatically recognise and approve subsequent comments instead of leaving them in the moderation queue.
For accounts that register on our site (where applicable), we also store the personal data indicated in their profile. All accounts can view, change or delete their personal information at any time (with the exception of their username). Site managers can also view and modify this information.
If you have an account or if you have left comments on the site, you can ask to receive a file containing all the personal data we hold about you, including that which you have provided to us. You may also request the deletion of your personal data. This does not include data stored for administrative, legal or security purposes.
Visitors’ comments may be checked using an automated service to detect undesirable comments.
