At Somalista, we take your privacy seriously and are committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy applies to all personal information that we collect, use, and share about you when you visit our website or use our services.
Personal information that we may collect includes your name, email address, phone number, and any other information that you choose to provide to us. We may also collect certain technical information such as your IP address, browser type, and device information when you visit our website.
We may use your personal information for a variety of purposes, including to provide you with information or services that you request, to personalize your experience on our website, and to improve our services. We may also use your personal information for marketing and research purposes.
We may share your personal information with third parties in certain circumstances, such as when we have your consent, when it is necessary to provide you with a requested service, or when we are legally required to do so. We may also share your personal information with third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website or conducting our business.
We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no data transmission over the internet or storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure. As a result, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information, and you transmit it to us at your own risk.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable laws. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your personal information.

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 service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website 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 visit our login page, 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 will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. 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.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
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 your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
