What personal data we collect and why we collect it
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.
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 privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile photo will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the Site, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Website visitors can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
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.
If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we also set up several cookies to save your login information and your display choices. Login cookies last for two days, while display options cookies last for a year. You will remain logged in for two weeks when you choose “Remember Me,” and if you log out of your account, your login cookies will be deleted.
An additional cookie will be saved in your browser if you edit or publish an article. This file does not contain any personal data. It simply indicates the ID of the article you edited. It will expire in one day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (eg 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
With whom we share your data
At OmanGuide, we use the Google Adsense service, which collects some data about users for the purpose of displaying relevant ads. You can view the Google Ads Privacy Policy here.
How long do we retain your data?
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata will be retained indefinitely. This is so that we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue for approval.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit this information.
