Privacy Policy
LevelXDigital (referred to as “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website https://levelxdigital.com (the “Site”). This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our Site and the choices you have associated with that data.
1. Data We Collect
A. Personal Data
We collect the following Personal Data when you interact with certain features on our Site:
- Comments: When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comments form (e.g., name, email address, website), the visitor’s IP address, and the browser user agent string to aid in spam detection.
- User Registration: For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profile.
B. Media
If you upload images to the Site, please avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the Site.
C. Cookies (Tracking Technologies)
We use cookies to enhance your experience and analyze Site usage.
- Commenter Convenience: If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to save your name, email, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so you don’t have to re-enter your details. These cookies last for one year.
- Login Cookies:
- Visiting our login page sets a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie is discarded when you close your browser.
- When you log in, we set up several cookies to save your login information (lasts two days) and screen display choices (lasts one year).
- Selecting “Remember Me” allows your login to persist for two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.
- Article Editing: If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is saved, which indicates the post ID and expires after one day.
2. Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles, case studies, and pages on this Site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles from our portfolio, etc.). Embedded content from other websites (like YouTube, LinkedIn, etc.) behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the external website directly.
Please note: These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, especially if you have an account and are logged in to that specific external website.
3. Data Retention and Security
A. Data Retention Period
- Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
- User Profiles: For registered users, personal information is stored as long as the user account remains active.
B. Data Sharing and Security
- Spam Detection: Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
- Gravatar: An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. Their privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Upon comment approval, your profile picture (if using Gravatar) is visible publicly.
- Password Resets: If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security verification.
4. Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account on this Site or have left comments, you have the following rights regarding the personal data we hold:
- Right to Access: You can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us.
- Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten): You can request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This right is not absolute and does not include any data we are legally obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Managing Your Data:
- All registered users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (with the exception of their username).
- Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
