At Webigen, we value your trust and are committed to safeguarding your personal information. Our Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and the measures we take to keep it secure — ensuring transparency and peace of mind every time you interact with our services.
Webigen Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy outlines how Webigen collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you visit our website or use our services. We are committed to transparency, security, and compliance with data protection regulations, ensuring your information is handled with the utmost care.
Who we are
This Webigen Privacy Policy applies to all services and content provided through our official website at https://webigen.co.uk. Webigen is committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal data responsibly in accordance with applicable UK data protection laws.
Comments
As part of the Webigen Privacy Policy, when visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the information provided in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent, to help detect and prevent spam.
An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to determine if you are using it. You can review the Gravatar service’s privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible in connection with your comment.
Media
In line with the Webigen Privacy Policy, if you choose to upload images to our website, we recommend avoiding files that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). This is because visitors to the site can download and extract any location details from such images.
Cookies
As outlined in the Webigen Privacy Policy, our website uses cookies to enhance your browsing experience and improve functionality.
Comment Cookies: If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience, so you don’t need to re-enter these details when posting again. These cookies last for one year.
Login Cookies: Visiting our login page triggers a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser. When you log in, several cookies are set to store your login details and screen preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen option cookies for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login persists for two weeks, and all login cookies are removed upon logout.
Article Cookies: Editing or publishing an article stores an additional cookie with the post ID of the edited article. This contains no personal data and expires after one day.
Embedded content from other websites
In accordance with the Webigen Privacy Policy, some articles or pages on our website may include embedded content, such as videos, images, or articles from external websites. Embedded content behaves exactly as if you visited the source website directly.
These third-party sites may collect information about you, use cookies, embed additional tracking tools, and monitor your interactions with the embedded content — including tracking your activity if you have an account and are logged in to that external site.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the password reset email. This helps verify the request and protect your account from unauthorized access.
How long we retain your data
In line with the Webigen Privacy Policy, if you leave a comment on our site, the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve future comments rather than placing them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website (if applicable), we retain the personal information provided in their profile. All registered users can view, edit, or delete their personal data at any time (except for their username). Website administrators also have access to view and edit this information when required.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on our site or have left comments, you can request an exported file containing the personal data we hold about you, including any information you’ve provided. You may also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you, except for data we are legally or administratively required to retain for security, compliance, or record-keeping purposes.
Where your data is sent
As outlined in the Webigen Privacy Policy, visitor comments may be processed through an automated spam detection service. This ensures our platform remains secure and free from malicious or unwanted content.
