Who We Are
We are SEO Partners, and our website address is https://seopartners.co.za. We respect your privacy and actively protect your personal information in line with South African data protection laws.
Comments
When you leave a comment on our website, we collect the information you enter in the comments form, along with your IP address and browser user agent string. This helps us detect and prevent spam.
We may create an anonymised string (hash) from your email address and send it to the Gravatar service to check if you use it. You can read the Gravatar privacy policy here. Once we approve your comment, your profile picture becomes visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to our website, avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract location data from images on the website.
Cookies
When you leave a comment on our site, you can choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This saves you from re-entering your details when you leave another comment. These cookies remain for one year.
If you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and disappears when you close your browser.
When you log in, we set several cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will stay active for two weeks. When you log out, we remove the login cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, we store a cookie in your browser with the post ID of the article you edited. This cookie contains no personal data and expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on our site may include embedded content such as videos, images, or articles. Embedded content from other websites functions exactly as if you visited those websites directly.
These websites may collect your data, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content. They may also track your activity if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, we include your IP address in the reset email.
How Long We Retain Your Data
When you leave a comment, we keep the comment and its metadata indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognise and approve any follow-up comments without holding them for moderation.
If you register on our site, we store the personal information you provide in your user profile. You can view, edit, or delete your information at any time, except for your username. Website administrators can also view and edit this information.
Your Data Rights
If you have an account or have left comments on our website, you can request an exported file of your personal data that we hold, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you, except for data we must keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where We Send Your Data
We may check visitor comments through an automated spam detection service.
