At Kaizen-Sensei, we respect and protect the privacy of our readers. This Privacy Policy outlines the ways in which we collect, use, and protect the personal information that you provide us.
Information Collection
We only collect personal information when it is voluntarily provided by our readers. When you visit our website, we may collect certain information such as your IP address, browser type, requested URL, and timestamp data. This information is collected to better serve our readers and improve the content of our website.
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.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that 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 also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for 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.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply 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 in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other 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 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.
Third-Party Information
Third-party advertising networks may collect information about your visits to our website and other websites, but this information will not include your name, email address, or website address.
All amazon links are affiliated links.
Security
We take the security of your personal information very seriously. We have implemented reasonable security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access or use. However, no security measures are 100% effective, and we cannot be held liable for any damages arising from the use or inability to use the information and services provided on our website, whether direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential.
Contact Us
If you have any questions or concerns about our Privacy Policy, or if you would like to make a request to access, correct, or delete your personal information, please contact us at the email provided on the website.
