Your privacy is important to us. It is our policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect from you across our website and other sites we own and operate. We recognize the importance of maintaining your privacy. We value your privacy and appreciate your trust in us. This Policy describes how we treat user information we collect on https://www.xahertz.com. This Privacy Policy applies to current and former visitors to our website. Your continued use of our website will be regarded as acceptance of this Privacy Policy.
1. What Personal Data We Collect And Why We Collect It
We only ask for personal information when we truly need it to provide a service to you. We collect it by fair and lawful means, with your knowledge and consent. We also let you know why we’re collecting it and how it will be used. This includes data collected directly from you (e.g., through contact forms) and indirectly through technologies like cookies and analytics tools.
A) Contact Forms
When visitors contact us via our contact page on the site, we collect the data shown in the contact form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This data is used when we respond to the visitor's queries and is retained indefinitely to assist with future inquiries related to the same topic.
B) Cookies
Our website uses cookies to improve your browsing experience. We use both first-party (set by our site) and third-party cookies.
- First-party cookies are used for essential functionality, such as remembering user preferences and performing reCAPTCHA validation on our contact page. The reCAPTCHA cookie is a temporary cookie, set to perform reCAPTCHA validation. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you leave the contact page.
- Third-party cookies may be set by analytics providers or other services we use to improve our website's performance. You can control your cookie preferences through your browser settings and disable third-party cookies entirely.
C) 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.
D) Links To Other Websites
Our website may link to external sites that are not operated by us. Please be aware that we have no control over the content and practices of these sites and cannot accept responsibility or liability for their respective privacy policies. Read the privacy policy of other websites carefully.
E) Analytics
We use Google Analytics (GA4) to collect information about how visitors use our website. This data is used to understand user behavior, identify areas for improvement, and measure the effectiveness of our content. Google Analytics collects non-personally identifiable data such as:
- Pageviews: The number of times a page on our site is viewed.
- Unique Visitors: An estimate of the number of distinct individuals who visit our site.
- Bounce Rate: The percentage of visitors who leave our site after viewing only one page.
- Referral Sources: The websites that referred visitors to our site.
- Browser and Operating System: Information about the visitor's browser and operating system.
We have implemented measures to protect your privacy while using Google Analytics, including:
- Anonymizing IP Addresses: We have configured Google Analytics to anonymize IP addresses, meaning that the last octet of the IP address is removed before it is stored. This prevents Google from associating the data with a specific individual.
- Do Not Track (DNT) Signal: We respect your Do Not Track browser setting and will not track you if you have enabled this feature.
You can learn more about how Google uses this data at:
https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
You can also opt-out of Google Analytics tracking by visiting:
https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
2. Who We Share Your Data With
We do not share personally identifying information publicly or with third-parties. Except when required by law, we may share your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant, or other lawful requests for information we receive, or to otherwise protect our rights.
In addition, we utilize Google Analytics to collect anonymized data about website usage. This data is used to understand user behavior and improve our website's performance; it does not contain personally identifiable information. We retain full control over this anonymized data and do not share it with third parties beyond what is necessary for the operation of Google Analytics, as outlined in their own privacy policy.
3. How Long We Retain Your Data
We retain the data collected through our contact form indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and respond to any follow-up queries quickly instead of holding them in a moderation queue. We also retain website usage data collected by Google Analytics for 14 months as per Google's default settings, though we have configured IP anonymization.
4. What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have contacted us through the contact form, 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. You may also opt-out of Google Analytics tracking as described above.
5. Where We Send Your Data
Visitor queries submitted through the contact form may be checked through an automated spam detection service to reduce spam from automated bots on our website.
6. Updates To This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time in order to reflect changes to our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Thus, we advise you to review this page periodically for any changes. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. These changes are effective immediately after they are posted on this page. Please check this page periodically for updates.
