• To provide, troubleshoot, and improve our services, for internal record keeping.
• To comply with legal obligations. In certain cases, such as when you place an order, we have legal obligations to collect, process and store 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. Comments are further managed by the software Disqus. You can find more information about their use of your data on their website.

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. 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.

Contact forms

If you fill in a contact form the data you provide in the form is sent to an Odder Being email address. Email is stored on Siteground servers, in Gmail and on local machines. Emails are stored indefinitely, but if you ask us to remove them we’ll gladly oblige.

Order data

When you place an order, the data you provide is used to handle your order and stored for regulatory purposes. Furthermore, order data are used for marketing purposes. If you opt-in for the newsletter, your e-mail address will be processed by Mailchimp in accordance with their privacy policy and used to send you the newsletter.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on the website 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.

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.

We specifically use YouTube to host videos (to improve loading). Other content may include for instance social media feeds, webshop pages and the like.

Who Odder Being shares your data with

Your data is shared with other services only for the purpose of providing you functionality and analysis of said data (in which case the data is not personally identifiable).

Your data is further shared – and personally identifiable – with selected partners to provide payment and delivery services when you place an order.

How long Odder Being retains your data

We keep your personal information for as long as is necessary to enable your continued use of Odder Being, for as long as it is required in order to fulfil the relevant purposes described in this Privacy Policy, as may be permitted or required by law such as for tax and accounting purposes, or as otherwise communicated to you.

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so the system can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website, 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.
