Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and your rights regarding your data.
1. About Us
Our website address is: https://usobus.net.
2. Consent Collection – GDPR and Other European Regulations
To comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and related laws in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, we collect clear and explicit consent from visitors before serving personalized ads.
We use a Consent Management Platform (CMP) to manage your cookie preferences. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your cookie settings on our site.
3. Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.
An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. You can view the Gravatar privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible publicly alongside your comment.
4. Media
If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the site.
5. Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience. These cookies last for one year.
When you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.
When you log in, we set several cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen option cookies last for one year. Selecting “Remember Me” keeps your login for two weeks. Logging out removes login cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is saved in your browser with the post ID of the article edited. This cookie expires after one day and contains no personal data.
6. Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content such as videos, images, or articles. Embedded content behaves as if you visited the other website directly.
These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, especially if you have an account and are logged into that site.
7. Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security purposes.
8. How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For registered users (if applicable), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except usernames). Website administrators can also view and edit this information.
9. Your Data Rights
If you have an account or have left comments, you can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. You may also request that we erase your personal data, except where we are required to keep it for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
10. Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
