Comments

When visitors leave comments on our 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 with spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy. Once your comment is approved, your profile photo becomes visible to the public alongside your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors may download and extract location information from images on the site.

Cookies

If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies. These exist for your convenience so you don’t have to re-enter your details for future comments. These cookies will last for one year.

When visiting our login page, a temporary cookie will determine if your browser accepts cookies. This contains no personal data and is discarded when your browser closes.

When logging in, we use cookies to save your login info and screen preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. Selecting “Remember Me” keeps you logged in for two weeks. Logging out removes login cookies.

When editing or publishing an article, an additional cookie will be saved—this includes no personal data and simply notes the article ID. It expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on Hakademy.ca may include embedded content (e.g., YouTube videos, images, or social posts). Embedded content behaves as if you visited the originating website directly.

These external sites may collect your data, use cookies, embed tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, especially if you are logged into those services.

Who We Share Your Data With

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

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, we retain the comment and its metadata indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve future comments automatically instead of manually moderating them.

If you create an account (e.g., to access student resources), your personal data is stored in your profile. You can view, edit, or delete your personal data at any time—except for your username. Website admins may also access and edit that information.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account on this website, or have left comments, you can request an exported file of your personal data, including any data you’ve shared with us.

You may also request that we delete any personal data we hold. This does not include data we are required to keep for legal, administrative, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be scanned by an automated spam detection system.
