Privacy Policy

North Network (“we,” “our,” or “us”). This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit our websites, https://northnetwork.info and https://northnetworkhq.com (collectively, the “Sites”). By accessing or using our Sites, you agree to the collection and use of your information in accordance with this policy.

1. Who We Are

Our website addresses are:

2. Comments

When visitors leave comments on the Sites, we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called 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 may be visible to the public in the context of your comment.

3. Media

If you upload images to the Sites, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the Sites may download and extract any location data from images on the Sites.

4. 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 leaving 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 one 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 contains no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.

5. 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.

6. Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

We do not sell, rent, or lease your personal information to third parties. However, we may share your information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our Sites and providing services to you. These third-party providers are obligated to protect your data and only use it for the purpose of performing the requested services.

7. 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 who register on our Sites (if applicable), we 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 this information.

8. What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account on our Sites, 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, except for data we are obligated to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

9. Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service to ensure our Sites remain safe and secure for all users.

10. Data Security

We take reasonable precautions to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Effective Date.” We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information.
