Thank you for visiting our website at https://www.powerjobs.co.za. We value your privacy and are committed to providing transparent information about how we handle your data. Please read the following sections to understand our practices regarding comments, media, cookies, embedded content, data sharing, data retention, and your rights.
Comment
When you leave a comment on our site, we collect the information you provide in the comment form, along with your IP address and browser user-agent string. This data helps us detect and prevent spam. Additionally, if you have a Gravatar account linked to your email address, an anonymized hash of your email may be sent to the Gravatar service to display your profile picture next to your comment. You can review the Gravatar service privacy policy at https://automattic.com/privacy/.
Media
If you upload images to our website, please ensure that they do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract location data from such images.
Cookies
When you leave a comment, you have the option to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This feature is designed for your convenience, eliminating the need to fill in your details repeatedly when leaving subsequent comments. These cookies will remain valid for one year.
If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will be set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain any personal data and will be deleted when you close your browser.
Upon logging in, we will set additional cookies to store your login information and screen preferences. Login cookies are valid for two days, while screen preferences cookies last for one year. If you select the “Remember me” option, your login information will persist for two weeks. Logging out of your account will delete the login cookie. When editing or publishing an article, an extra cookie with the publication identifier will be stored in your browser for one day. This cookie does not contain any personal data.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on our website may include embedded content such as videos, images, or articles from external sources. Embedded content behaves in the same way as if you were visiting the respective external website. These websites may collect data, use cookies, track your interactions with the embedded content (including if you have an account and are logged in to that site), and embed third-party tracking services.
Data Sharing
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
Data Retention
Comments and their associated metadata will be retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically approve subsequent comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For registered users on our website, we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Users have the ability to view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for the username. Site administrators also have access to view and edit this information.
Your Rights
If you have an account on our website or have left comments, you can request an export file of the personal data we hold about you, including any information you have provided. You also have the right to request the deletion of your personal data, with the exception of data that 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.
If you have any further questions or concerns about our privacy practices, please feel free to contact us. We appreciate your trust in us and are dedicated to protecting your privacy.
