1. Who We Are
This website is operated by Aeropole. Our website address is https://www.aeropole.fi. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you visit our website, in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable Finnish data protection legislation.
2. 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. This information is collected to assist with spam detection and to maintain the quality of our site.
An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check whether you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public alongside your comment.
3. Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website may be able to download and extract location data from images hosted on the site.
4. Cookies
4.1 Comment Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are provided for your convenience so that you do not have to re-enter your details when leaving subsequent comments. These cookies last for one year.
4.2 Login Cookies
If you visit our login page, we will 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 will also set several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one 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.
4.3 Content Editing Cookies
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 one day.
5. 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 exactly the same way as if you had visited that other website directly.
These third-party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content. This includes tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
6. Who We Share Your Data With
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal data to outside parties except as described in this policy. If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
7. How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website, 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.
8. Your Rights Over Your Data
Under the GDPR, if you have an account on this site or have left comments, you have the right to:
Request access – You can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us.
Request erasure – You can request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Request rectification – You have the right to request correction of inaccurate personal data.
Data portability – You have the right to receive your data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us through the contact information available on our website.
9. Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Some data may be processed outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) by third-party service providers. In such cases, appropriate safeguards are in place to ensure the protection of your personal data in compliance with GDPR requirements.
