Privacy Policy

At Sustainable Truck Equipment, we are committed to protecting your privacy and safeguarding your personal information. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your data when you visit our website at https://sustainabletruckequipment.com.

Who We Are

Our website address is: https://sustainabletruckequipment.com.

Information We Collect

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data entered in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

We may also generate an anonymized string (a hash) from your email address to check if you are using the Gravatar service. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if available via Gravatar) will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to our site can download and extract this location data from images.

Cookies

Our site uses cookies to enhance your browsing experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us remember your preferences and provide certain functionalities.

  • Comments: If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so that you don’t need to re-enter these details for future comments. These cookies will last for one year.

  • Login Page: When you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

  • Logged-in Users: When you log in, we set cookies to save your login information and screen preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen option cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out will remove login cookies.

  • Content Editing: If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be set in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply stores the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content, such as videos, images, or articles from third-party websites. This embedded content behaves exactly as if you visited the external website.

These third-party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking tools, and monitor your interactions with the embedded content, particularly if you are logged into those websites.

Data Sharing

We do not share your data with third parties unless explicitly required for certain services or as mandated by law. However, 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: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments without holding them in a moderation queue.

  • Registered Users: For users who register on our site, we store personal information provided during registration. You can view, edit, or delete your personal information at any time, except for your username. Website administrators can also view and modify this information.

Your Data Rights

If you have an account on our site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you’ve provided. You may also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you, excluding data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through automated spam detection services to ensure the security and integrity of our platform.

Security Measures

We take security seriously and employ measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, disclosure, or loss. However, no data transmission over the internet or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal data, we cannot ensure or warrant its absolute security.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal and regulatory reasons. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your data.
