This Privacy Policy explains how SCMANA handles information when you use https://scmana.com, contact us, subscribe to updates, leave comments or interact with content on the site.
Who we are
Our website address is: https://scmana.com.
Information you provide
We may process information that you choose to submit through the website, including information entered into contact forms, newsletter subscription forms, comments or account/profile fields where those features are available.
Contact forms
When you contact SCMANA through a website form, we process the information you submit so we can review your message, respond where appropriate and maintain reasonable administrative or security records relating to the enquiry.
Newsletter subscriptions
If you subscribe to SCMANA updates, we process the email address and any other information you provide through the subscription form for the purpose of managing the subscription and sending SCMANA learning updates or related communications.
Subscription information may be processed by the website, hosting environment and the newsletter or email-delivery tools used by SCMANA. You may unsubscribe using the unsubscribe option provided in subscription emails where available, or contact us at support@scmana.com.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we may collect the data shown in the comments form together with the visitor’s IP address and browser user-agent information to assist with moderation and spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (sometimes called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine whether you use it. The Gravatar service is operated by Automattic. If a profile image is associated with your account and a comment is approved, that image may be visible publicly with the comment.
Media
If the site allows you to upload images, avoid uploading files that contain embedded location information such as EXIF GPS data, because visitors may be able to download the file and extract that information.
Cookies
WordPress and site features may use cookies for functions such as login sessions, saved preferences, comment convenience, form operation, security and other website functionality. The exact cookies present can vary depending on which site features and plugins are active.
If you log in, WordPress may set cookies to save login information and screen-display choices. If you leave a comment, WordPress may offer to save your name, email address and website in cookies for convenience.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on SCMANA may include embedded content such as videos, images, documents or other material from external websites. Embedded content can behave in the same way as if you visited the external website directly.
Those external websites may collect information about you, use cookies, apply their own tracking technologies and monitor your interaction with the embedded content according to their own privacy practices.
Service providers and data sharing
Information may be processed by service providers used to operate SCMANA, such as website hosting, email/newsletter delivery, form processing, security, spam prevention or embedded-content providers. We do not describe this as a sale of your personal information. Information may also be disclosed where reasonably necessary for security, administration or legal obligations.
How long we retain information
Information is retained for as long as reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected, for administration, security or record-keeping, or where retention is otherwise required. For example, subscription information may be retained while a subscription remains active, while comments and their metadata may be retained to support moderation and follow-up comments.
Registered users
If user registration is available and you create an account, WordPress may store the profile information you provide. Depending on the account configuration, users may be able to view or edit portions of their profile, while site administrators may also access that information for account administration.
Your choices and requests
You may contact SCMANA regarding information you have provided through the site, including requests relating to newsletter subscriptions, contact enquiries or account information. Some information may need to be retained for legitimate administrative, security or legal reasons.
For privacy-related enquiries, contact support@scmana.com.
Automated spam and security checks
Visitor comments, form submissions or other website interactions may be checked using automated spam-prevention or security tools.
