Who We Are
Our website address is: https://cyea.us.

Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data provided 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 called a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media
If you upload images to our website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract location data from images on the website.

Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience, so you won’t need to re-enter your details when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.

If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will be set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and will be discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Upon logging out, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if the visitor had visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Payments and Orders Using WooCommerce
When you make purchases through our site using WooCommerce, we collect information about you during the checkout process. This information may include your name, billing and shipping address, email address, phone number, and payment details. We use this information to:

  • Process and fulfill your order, including sending you order confirmations, shipping updates, and support-related messages.
  • Handle payments via third-party payment gateways (e.g., PayPal, Stripe). Please refer to the privacy policies of those payment providers for more details about how they handle your data.
  • Prevent fraud and ensure the security of our transactions.

We retain this information as required for legal, administrative, and accounting purposes. You can review and request deletion of your information at any time, except for data we are required to keep for legal reasons.

Who We Share Your Data With
For order processing, WooCommerce may share data with our payment processors and shipping providers. This data is only shared to facilitate order fulfillment and payment processing.

Additionally, 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. This is so we can automatically approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profiles. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Website administrators can also view and edit that information.

For WooCommerce orders, we retain order information as needed for tax, accounting, and legal requirements.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have placed orders, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obligated to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. For payment processing, data may be sent to third-party providers such as PayPal or Stripe to process your transaction securely.
