Privacy Policy

Aquarium Care Planner email sign-up

When you request the free Aquarium Care Planner, DaraSphere collects the email address you submit, your consent choice, the sign-up source and time, a one-way hash of your IP address, and limited browser information for delivery, security, and spam prevention.

We use this information to provide the requested planner and, only with your consent, to send occasional useful aquarium-care emails. We do not sell your email address. The PDF is delivered through a time-limited secure download link.

You may unsubscribe from marketing messages at any time. You may also ask us to access or delete the personal information connected with this sign-up by contacting DaraSphere through the website contact page. We retain sign-up information only for as long as it is needed for these purposes or to meet applicable legal and security obligations.

Our website address is: https://darasphere.com.

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 anonymized string created from your email address, also called a hash, may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine whether you use it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, 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 that include embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images on the website.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience, so you do not have to enter your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to determine whether 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 screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen-option cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login persists for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies are removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content, such as videos, images or articles. Embedded content from other websites behaves in exactly the same way as if the visitor had 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. This may include tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

If you request a password reset, your IP address is 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 recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website, if any, we also store the personal information they provide in their user profiles. All users can view, edit or delete their personal information at any time, except that they cannot change their username. Website administrators can also view and edit that information.

Your rights over your data

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

Where your data is sent

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