Our Privacy Policy
Privacy Policies are really about 2 things:
- How we use your contact details
- What software we use on our site
How We Use Your Contact Details
Boxcar Marketing does not sell, rent or distribute to third parties any personal data collected from our website or mailing lists. If you fill out a form asking for more info, we don’t subscribe you to our email list.
Contact
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.
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 We Send Your Data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
What Software We Use on Our Site
Boxcar Marketing uses Google Analytics to measure our site performance, CampaignMonitor to manage our email newsletter and subscription forms, and Google Sheets for contact forms. The Google Analytics terms specify that no personally identifiable information may be collected. From time to time, we also use software like Crazy Egg or we test other heat-mapping software products. We also use and test remarketing tools like Facebook Pixel and Google Analytics Display Advertising features, which have opt-outs.
We are committed to providing visitors to the site an experience that respects their privacy. We reserve the right to change this policy at any time.
We do not collect personal information that identifies individuals (such as your name, phone number, address, or e-mail address) unless you supply it voluntarily, usually through contacting us via e-mail, regular mail, contact or subscribe forms, telephone, or registering in a portion of the web site.
Personal information voluntarily provided by you via our web site will be used only for the purpose for which it was provided (for example, to subscribe to our email newsletter, to register for an event), or to which you otherwise consent, will be kept strictly confidential, and is not disclosed to anyone outside of Boxcar Marketing.
In some instances, we may use outside parties to administer online activities on our behalf, such as event registration services. This may involve the collection of personal information. In such cases, we ensure that the manner in which any outside party collects, uses and retains personal information conforms to our privacy policy.
