Privacy Policy

Who we are

Nala Africa respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our website https://nalaafrica.org.

Comments

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

An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture (if applicable) will be visible to the public alongside your comment.

Media

If you upload images to our website, please avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site may download and extract location data from images posted online.

Cookies

• If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for convenience, so you don’t need to re-enter your details for future comments. These cookies last for one year.
• If you visit our login page, we 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 set cookies to save your login information and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen option cookies last for one year. Selecting “Remember Me” keeps you logged in for two weeks. Logging out will remove these cookies.
• If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply records the post ID of the article. It expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you had visited the other website directly.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their content, including tracking your activity if you are logged into those websites.

Who We Share Your Data With

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

How Long We Retain Your Data

• If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them in moderation.
• For users who register on our website (if any), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except usernames, which cannot be changed). Website administrators can also view and edit this information.

Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided. You may also request that we erase any personal data we hold. This does not include data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
