Who we are
Our website is located at http://apgeneralmotors.co.nz.
Comments
When visitors leave comments, we collect the data from the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent to help detect spam. An anonymized string of your email (also called a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. You can view their privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract any location information from these images.
Cookies
When you leave a comment, you can choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience, so you don’t need to re-enter details on future comments. These cookies last for one year.
If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie is set to check if your browser accepts cookies, which is discarded when you close your browser.
Upon logging in, we set up cookies to save your login details and screen preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen options last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login persists for two weeks. Logging out removes login cookies.
Editing or publishing an article sets an additional cookie, which includes no personal data and expires after one day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may contain embedded content (e.g., videos, articles). These behave the same way as if you visited the other website, which may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interactions with embedded content.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
Data Retention
Comments and their metadata are stored indefinitely. This allows us to automatically approve any follow-up comments. For users who register, we store the personal data they provide in their profiles. Users can see, edit, or delete their data at any time (except usernames). Website administrators can also access and edit this information.
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 (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
Your Data Rights
If you have an account or left comments on this site, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold. You can also request that we erase your personal data, except for data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked via an automated spam detection service.
