Who we share your data with

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), 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.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also 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.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

By submitting your information here you become a member of the Webspirit Mailing List and may receive occasional communications or newsletters from Webspirit. Rest assured your information will never be shared, sold or otherwise distributed to anybody else. That is a guarantee. You can unsubscribe at any time.

We support your right to personal privacy and corporate security on the Internet. We will never sell or market names, e-mail addresses, or any other privileged information about our clients or subscribers.

Unauthorized OptIn

In order to protect our opt-in e-mail lists, we have implemented a system by which we record the IP addresses of all subscribers. If an e-mail address is intentionally subscribed to our system without the owner’s permission the initiating IP address may be reported to their host ISP. In addition we send all opt-in requests an email to verify that they requested that their name and email address be added to the list.

Unsubscribe Policy

We respect the request of any individual asking to have his/her email address removed from our database. As well, every opt-in list email sent by Makeaflute provides an automated unsubscribe option at the bottom of each email. All unsubscribe requests can easily be processed by sending a blank email, using the email address you wish to remove.
