About this policy
This page explains what personal data is collected when you visit mds-siteandpower.com, why it is collected, how it is used, and the choices you have. It applies only to this website and the content we publish here.
What we collect when you visit
When you load a page, our hosting environment and content delivery/cache layer automatically record basic technical information needed to serve the site and keep it reliable. This typically includes your IP address, the date and time of the request, the page requested, and details supplied by your browser such as user agent. These logs help us diagnose problems, secure the site, and understand overall site performance.
We do not run third-party analytics, advertising, or affiliate tracking on this site.
If you leave a comment
Articles on this site allow readers to submit comments. If you choose to comment, WordPress stores the text you submit along with the name, email address, and website URL you choose to provide. For spam prevention and security, WordPress also stores the IP address and browser user agent associated with the comment.
Comments may be checked manually before or after publication. Do not post sensitive personal information in a comment.
Contacting us by email
If you email us, we will receive the information you include in your message and the email headers delivered by your email service (such as your email address and sending IP as provided by your provider). We use this information to reply and to handle your request. Email is not a secure medium; please do not include sensitive data.
Cookies and local storage
This site uses only a small number of cookies necessary for its operation:
• WordPress sets session cookies for logged-in administrators. These do not apply to regular readers who are not logged in.
• If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies on your device so that you do not have to fill these in again next time. These convenience cookies are optional and stored in your browser.
• Our caching/CDN layer may set cookies or similar tokens that help route traffic and improve site speed and reliability.
For more detail about cookies used on this site, see the Cookie Policy linked in the footer.
How we use information
We use the information we collect to:
• deliver pages and media efficiently;
• protect the website from abuse and troubleshoot technical issues;
• publish and manage reader comments; and
• respond to correspondence you send us.
Who can see your information
Access to personal data collected through this site is limited to site administrators who need it to operate the site. Our hosting provider and caching/CDN service process technical data (such as server logs and cached copies of pages) in order to deliver the site. If you email us, your message is processed by our email service. We do not sell your personal information and we do not share it for advertising.
How long we keep it
Comments and their associated metadata are kept for as long as the comment remains published or is needed for moderation and site integrity. You may ask us to remove your comment.
Server and CDN logs are kept for a limited time needed for security and operations and may be retained longer when investigating incidents.
Email correspondence is kept for as long as needed to handle your inquiry and maintain a record of our communications.
