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.

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.

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.

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

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.

Contact forms

If you fill in a contact form, the details you enter will be sent to the recipient email box so that they can reply to your email.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more effectively and provide you with a more personalized experience.

We use the following types of cookies:

  • Essential Cookies: These cookies are essential for the operation of our Website. They enable you to browse the Website and use its features.

You can control your cookie preferences by managing your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block all cookies, allow only certain types of cookies, or delete cookies when you close your browser. However, if you disable cookies, you may not be able to use all of the features of our Website.

Please refer to the documentation for your specific browser to learn more about how to manage your cookie preferences.

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.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to monitor traffic to this site and to monitor traffic from subscription emails. Google Analytics collects information that includes your IP address, browser type, and pages visited on this site, by placing a tracking cookie in your web browser. It does not collect names, emails, or any physical addresses. This data is used solely for the purposes of monitoring traffic to wpkind.com. All data is kept for 26 months before being automatically deleted.

Newsletter

On the Website, you may subscribe to our newsletter, which may be used for advertising purposes. All newsletters sent may contain tracking pixels. The pixel is embedded in emails and allows an analysis of the success of online marketing campaigns. Because of these tracking pixels, we may see if and when you open an email and which links within the email you click. Also, this allows the Website to adapt the content of future newsletters to the interests of the user. This behavior will not be passed on to third parties.

Affiliate marketing

All Access Arcade participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means that we may earn a commission on sales that we generate for other companies. We do this by placing links to those companies’ products and services on our website.

When you click on an affiliate link on our website and make a purchase, we may receive a commission. We only participate in affiliate marketing programs with companies that we trust and that we believe offer high-quality products and services.

Who we share your data with

We share your personal data with the following third parties:

  • Google Analytics, to help us understand how you use our website
  • Gravatar, to display your profile picture next to your comments (if you use Gravatar)
  • Affiliate partners, for affiliate marketing purposes
  • Third-party service providers who help us operate and improve our website and services, such as web-hosting providers, email service providers, and customer support providers

We may also share your personal data with third parties if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to protect the rights or property of All Access Arcade, its users, or the public.

How long we retain your data

All Access Arcade will retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law.

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.

Google Analytics trackers are automatically deleted after 26 months.

What rights 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 have provided to us.
