Privacy Policy

Who we are

We are TechSheThink, a platform dedicated to empowering individuals with resources and insights into deep tech fields like AI, quantum technology, and biotech. Our website address is: https://techshethink.org. This privacy policy outlines how we handle your data to ensure transparency and protect your privacy.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture (if linked to Gravatar) will be visible to the public in the context of your comment. If you prefer not to display a profile picture, you can avoid using an email associated with Gravatar.
All comments are moderated, and we reserve the right to remove any content that violates our community guidelines.”

Media

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience, so you don’t have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select ‘Remember Me,’ your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, 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 1 day.
We may also use analytics cookies to understand how users interact with our website, helping us improve your experience. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings, though this may affect your experience on our site. We display a cookie consent banner on your first visit to allow you to manage your preferences

 

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., YouTube videos, TED Talks, or Twitter posts). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website. For example, YouTube’s privacy policy is available here: https://policies.google.com/privacy, and Twitter’s privacy policy is available here: https://twitter.com/en/privacy.”

Who we share your data with

We do not share your personal data with third parties except as necessary to provide our services or comply with legal obligations. For example, if you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. We may also share anonymized data with analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics) to improve our website, but this data cannot be used to identify you. For more details on Google Analytics’ privacy practices, visit: https://policies.google.com/privacy.”

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website, we 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. If you delete your account, we will remove your personal data within 30 days, except for data we are required to retain for legal or security purposes.
Analytics data (e.g., page views) is retained for up to 26 months before being automatically deleted. If you submit a contact form, we retain that data for 6 months to address your inquiry, after which it is deleted unless further action is required

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.
If you are located in the European Union, you also have the right to restrict processing, object to processing, and data portability under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [insert contact email or form link]. We will respond to your request within 30 days.”

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service, such as Akismet, to prevent spam. Akismet’s privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
Your data may be transferred to servers located outside your country, such as in the United States, where our hosting provider (e.g., [insert hosting provider]) operates. We ensure that any international data transfers comply with applicable privacy laws, such as using Standard Contractual Clauses for GDPR compliance.”
