Privacy and Cookies Policy

Effective Date: January 28, 2025

At Olyxa, your privacy is of utmost importance to us. This Privacy and Cookies Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit our website, https://olyxa.se. By using this site, you consent to the practices described below.

1. Who We Are

Our website address is: https://olyxa.se.
For any questions regarding this policy, you can contact us at: info@olyxa.se.

2. What Personal Data We Collect and Why

Comments

When you leave comments on our site, we collect:

  • The data provided in the comments form.
  • Your IP address and browser user agent string (to help detect spam).

We may use an anonymized hash created from your email address with the Gravatar service to check if you have a registered profile. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if applicable) will be visible alongside your comment. For more details, you can view the Gravatar privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.

Media

If you upload images to our site, please ensure they do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract such data from images.

3. Cookies

Cookies are small files stored on your device to enhance your browsing experience. We use cookies for the following purposes:

Comment Cookies

If you leave a comment, you can opt to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies last for one year.

Login Cookies

  • Temporary cookies are set when visiting the login page to check if your browser accepts cookies. These are deleted once you close your browser.
  • Upon login, cookies save your login information for two days and screen display preferences for one year. Selecting “Remember Me” extends login cookies to two weeks.
  • Logging out deletes login cookies.

Editing and Publishing Cookies

When editing or publishing an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. It contains no personal data and expires after 24 hours.

4. Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on Olyxa may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, or articles). Embedded content behaves as if you visited the external site, which may:

  • Collect data about you.
  • Use cookies.
  • Embed third-party tracking.
  • Monitor your interaction with the embedded content.

If you’re logged into the external site, additional tracking may apply. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of those third-party sites for more information.

5. Who We Share Your Data With

We value your privacy and do not sell or share your personal data with third parties. However, if you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

6. How Long We Retain Your Data

  • Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
  • User Profiles: For registered users, we store personal information provided in their user profiles. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal data anytime (except usernames). Website administrators can also access and edit this information.

7. Your Data Rights

If you have an account or have left comments on our site, you can:

  • Request an export file of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Request that we delete your personal data (excluding any data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes).

To make a request, contact us at: info@olyxa.se.

8. Where Your Data Is Sent

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

9. Security of Your Data

We prioritize the security of your data and implement measures to protect it from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse. However, no transmission or storage system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute data security.

10. Changes to This Policy

We reserve the right to update this Privacy and Cookies Policy at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
