Privacy Policy
Who We Are
Our website address is https://nakfa-academy.com. Nakfa Academy is committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal data responsibly. This policy outlines how we collect, use, store, and protect any information you provide when interacting with our platform.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist with spam detection.
We may provide an anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. You can find Gravatar’s privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if available) will be visible publicly alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to our site, please avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can potentially download and extract this location data from the uploaded media.
Cookies
Nakfa Academy uses cookies to improve user experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device to remember your preferences and activities on the site.
- Comment Cookies: If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies will last for one year.
- Login Cookies: When you log in, we set temporary cookies to verify your browser settings. We also set cookies to store your login information and display preferences:
- Login cookies last for 2 days (or 2 weeks if “Remember Me” is selected).
- Display preference cookies last for 1 year.
- When you log out, login cookies will be deleted.
- Post-Editing Cookies: If you edit or publish content, a post ID cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie expires after 1 day and contains no personal data.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Content on our site may include embedded elements (e.g., videos, articles, images) from third-party websites. These external sites may collect data about you, use cookies, and monitor your interactions with their content, particularly if you are logged into their platform. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of these external websites for more information.
Who We Share Your Data With
We do not share or sell your personal data to third parties without your explicit consent unless required by law or necessary to provide essential services (e.g., payment processors or email providers).
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security purposes.
How Long We Retain Your Data
- Comments: Comments and associated metadata are retained indefinitely to streamline future interactions and avoid moderation delays.
- User Profiles: For registered users, personal information is stored in their user profile. Users can access, edit, or delete their personal data at any time (except for their username). Administrators can also view and manage user information.
Your Data Rights
If you have an account on our site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of all the personal data we hold about you. You may also request that we delete your personal data. However, this does not include data we must retain for legal, administrative, or security purposes.
Data Transfers and Storage
Visitor comments may be processed through automated spam detection services. Some of your data may be stored on servers located outside your country. We take all necessary steps to ensure that your data is transferred securely and in compliance with applicable data protection laws.
Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. This includes encryption protocols, firewalls, and secure server infrastructure. However, no method of data transmission or storage is completely secure, and we encourage users to take their own precautions as well.
Changes to This Policy
Nakfa Academy reserves the right to update this privacy policy periodically to reflect changes in legal requirements or our business practices. Any changes will be posted on this page, and significant updates will be communicated directly to registered users when necessary.
