We wrote this policy to help you understand what information we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have. When visiting our website or signing up to our newsletter you consent to the collection, transfer, manipulation, storage, disclosure and other uses of your information as described in this privacy policy.
What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymised 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 is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Cookies and Analytics
Depending on how you’re accessing our site, we may use “cookies” (a small text file sent by your computer each time you visit our website), or similar technologies to record log data. When we use cookies, we may use either “session” cookies (that last until you close your browser) or “persistent” cookies (that last until you or your browser delete them).
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you have an account and you log in to this site, 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.
Some of the information that is collected during your visit to this website is not personal information, because it does not reveal your identity. For example, we may record your server address, domain name, the date and time of your visit to this site and the pages that you viewed. This information is used by us in anonymous, aggregated form only, for statistical and web site development purposes.
Exousia Inc. uses technologies, such as cookies and pixels, to customise content and advertising, to provide social media features and to analyse traffic to the site. We also share information about your use of our site with our trusted social media, advertising, project partners (receiving donations on Exousia Inc.’s behalf) and analytics partners like Facebook, Google Analytics, and Mailchimp. It is in your best interest to read the privacy policies of these third party providers to better understand your rights.
Exousia Inc. also reserves its right to use or disclose this information to try to locate an individual if it reasonably believes that the individual may have engaged in any unlawful or inappropriate activity in connection with this website.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). 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 with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
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 personal data
“Personal data” means data that would allow someone to identify or contact you, including, for example, your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, or any other non-public information about you.
We will not share your personal data. We will never rent or sell it to others. The only limited instances in which we may share your personal information include the following:
Third-party service providers: If we need to share it with third-party service providers in order to provide you with the services that we offer. These third-party service providers are required not to use your personal data for any other purposes than to provide the services requested by Exousia Inc.
Links to third-party sites: Our products may contain links to unaffiliated third party websites (e.g. sponsors and project partners). Except as set forth herein, we do not share your personal information with them, and are not responsible for their privacy practices. We suggest you read the privacy policies on all such third party websites.
What rights you have over your data
Our goal is to give you useful choices to manage your information.
You may have choices available to you through the device or software you use to access Exousia Inc. For example:
The browser you use may provide you with the ability to control cookies or other types of local data storage and your mobile device may provide you with choices around how and whether location or other data is shared with us.

For information stored directly with Exousia Inc. please don’t hesitate to contact us via email at info@exousia.org.au.
