COOKIES
A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time they return. We use cookies on our sites to help identify and track visitors, and their usage of our services. We describe the specific cookies used in the sections below. Visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using our websites, with the drawback that certain features may not function properly without the aid of cookies.
WHAT PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT AND WHY WE COLLECT IT
If you create an account on our site, you will be prompted to select a Username and provide your Email Address. When choosing a Username, we strongly advise you not use or include your real name. Usernames cannot be changed at any time. Your Username and Email Address are stored in the website’s database. Your Email Address is used to send you an email with a link to set your password or to send you an email with a link to reset your password in the event you forget your password. Once an account is created, you must contact us via email to have it deleted.
Accounts have a numeric User ID assigned to them when they are created. The User ID cannot be changed. You may optionally complete your Profile by providing your First Name, Last Name, Website (URL), and/or Biographical info. These additional details are also saved in the website’s database. You may edit these details, and your Email Address, in your Profile at any time. Your Username, First Name, Last Name, and Email Address are accessible to employees on the site.
If you attempt to log in to our site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies at all. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser. If you have an account and you log in to a site, we will set up several cookies to save your login information. The logged-in cookies last for two days. If you select “Remember Me,” these cookies will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed. It is important that you log out if you are using a public computer. For users that register on our site, we also store the data they provide in their profile indefinitely. All registered users can see, change, or delete most of that data at any time except their login name/nickname.

Customers that email us or use any of the contact forms on our websites will have their email address, IP address, and any data provided in the contact form or body of the email stored on our email system.
EMBEDDED CONTENT FROM OTHER WEBSITES
Embeds are pieces from other websites that are shown from time to time on our websites. They behave in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website and may use cookies or capture information. Typically, embedded content is from websites that share videos, images, or other content. These services may collect your IP Address, your User Agent, store and retrieve cookies on your browser, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including correlating your interaction with the content with your account with that service, if you are logged in to that service:

WHAT RIGHTS YOU HAVE OVER YOUR DATA
If you are a registered user or have left reviews or comments on our website, you can request to see the data we have about you. Typically for visitors that have left reviews or comments, the data will be their email address, any IP addresses assigned to them at the time of leaving the comments, and the user agent strings of the browsers they used. The rest of the data is public as published by the visitors. For registered users or paying customers, this will also include profile information and download, payment, and support ticket histories.

Should any event occur where customer data has been lost, stolen, or potentially compromised, our policy is to alert our customers via email beginning no later than 48 hours of our team becoming aware of the event. We will also report such incident to any required data protection authority.
