Who We Are
Our website address is https://cssr.etsmtl.ca/home/cssr/public_html. We are committed to safeguarding your privacy and protecting any personal information you provide.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist with spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also known as a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check 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, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS) in the images. Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images on the site.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience, so you won’t need to fill in your details again for future comments. These cookies last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to check 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 set up multiple cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. 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. When you log out, login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, and articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves the same as if the visitor had visited the other website. These external sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged into 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 to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For registered users on our website (if any), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except their username). Website administrators can also view and edit this information.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you provided. You may also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where Your Data is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
