Who we are
Our website address is: https://afriglobalnews.com
Comments
When you leave comments on our website, we collect the data shown in the comments form. We also recorded your IP address and browser user agent string to detect spam.
The Gravatar service may receive an anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) to check if you use their service. You can review the Gravatar service privacy policy here. Once we approve your comment, the public can see your profile picture alongside your post.
Media
If you upload images to the website, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Other visitors can download and extract any location data from images on this site.
Cookies
When you leave a comment, you may opt-in to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. We provide this for your convenience so you do not have to re-enter your details for future comments. These cookies expire after one year.
If you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data; your browser discards it when you close the window.
When you log in, we set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, while screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login persists for two weeks. Logging out of your account removes the login cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, your browser saves an additional cookie. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.
Cache
This site uses caching to provide a faster response time and a better user experience. Caching stores a duplicate copy of every web page we display on this site. All cache files are temporary. No third party accesses these files, except when we require technical support from the cache plugin vendor. Cache files expire on a schedule set by the site administrator. We may use QUIC.cloud services to process and cache your data temporarily.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site include embedded content (such as videos, images, and articles). When you interact with this content, it behaves exactly as if you visited the external website directly.
These third-party websites may collect data about you, use their own cookies, and embed additional tracking tools. They also monitor your interaction with the embedded content, especially if you possess an account and stay logged in to those specific websites.
Newsletters & Email Marketing (Mailchimp)
If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address and name. We use Mailchimp as our marketing platform. By subscribing, you acknowledge that your information will be transferred to Mailchimp for processing. You can learn more about their practices in the Mailchimp Privacy Standard. You may unsubscribe at any time using the link in the footer of our emails.
Who we share your data with
- Password Resets: If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
- Email Marketing: We share subscriber contact information with Mailchimp to deliver our newsletters and marketing communications.
- Spam Detection: Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
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 that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time. Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, 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. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Subscriber data is transferred to and stored on Mailchimp’s secure servers.
