Comments
When visitors leave comments on the website, where this feature is enabled, we collect the information entered in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user-agent information to assist with spam detection and website security.
An anonymised string generated from your email address, also known as a hash, may be shared with the Gravatar service to determine whether you use that service. The Gravatar privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/.
Once a comment is approved, the profile image associated with your Gravatar account may become publicly visible alongside the comment.
Media
If the website allows you to upload images, you should avoid uploading files containing embedded location information, such as EXIF GPS data.
Visitors may be able to download publicly accessible images from the website and extract any location information embedded within them.
Cookies
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to support essential functionality, improve performance, remember user preferences, and maintain website security.
If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is provided for your convenience so that you do not need to enter the same information when leaving another comment. These cookies may remain active for up to one year.
If you visit a login page, a temporary cookie may be set to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal information and is removed when you close your browser.
When you log in, cookies may be used to save your login details and display preferences. Login cookies generally remain active for two days, while display-preference cookies may remain active for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login may remain active for up to two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie may be stored in your browser. This cookie contains no personal information and only identifies the article that was edited. It expires after one day.
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the availability or performance of some website features.
Embedded Content From Other Websites
Articles and pages on this website may include embedded content such as videos, images, maps, documents, or social media posts.
Embedded content from another website behaves in the same way as if you had visited that website directly. Third-party websites may collect information about you, use cookies, apply additional tracking technologies, and monitor your interaction with their content. This may include tracking your activity when you have an account with the third party and are logged in to that account.
QSHC does not control the privacy practices of third-party websites. We encourage you to review their respective privacy policies before interacting with embedded content.
Who We Share Your Data With
We may share personal information with trusted service providers that support the operation, hosting, security, maintenance, or administration of this website.
These providers may only process information as necessary to deliver their services and are expected to handle it securely and in accordance with applicable requirements.
We may also disclose information when:
-
Required by law, regulation, court order, or a competent authority.
-
Necessary to protect QSHC’s rights, property, systems, or users.
-
Required in connection with a corporate restructuring, partnership, merger, acquisition, or transfer of assets.
-
You have authorised or requested the disclosure.
If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email for security purposes.
QSHC does not sell your personal information.
How Long We Retain Your Data
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, satisfy legal or regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, and protect our legitimate interests.
If you leave a comment, the comment and its associated metadata may be retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognise and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of placing them in a moderation queue.
For registered users, where registration is available, we store the personal information provided in their user profiles. Users may view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for their username. Website administrators may also access and edit this information where necessary to operate the website.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:
-
Request access to the personal information we hold about you.
-
Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
-
Request deletion of your personal information.
-
Object to or request restriction of certain processing activities.
-
Withdraw consent where processing is based on your consent.
-
Request a copy of certain personal information in a portable format.
If you have an account or have left comments on this website, you may request an exported copy of the personal information we hold about you, including information you have provided.
You may also request that we delete your personal information. This right does not apply to information we are required to retain for administrative, legal, regulatory, security, or legitimate business purposes.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be processed through an automated spam-detection service.
Some website services, hosting providers, security tools, or embedded third-party platforms may process information outside the country from which you access the website. Where applicable, QSHC will take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is handled securely and with appropriate safeguards.
Data Security
We apply reasonable administrative and technical measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
However, no method of transmitting information over the internet or storing it electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Children’s Privacy
This website is not intended to collect personal information knowingly from children without the consent of a parent or legal guardian.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information through this website without appropriate consent, please contact us so that we can review and remove it where required.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes to our website, services, data practices, or legal obligations.
Any updates will be published on this page, and the “Last updated” date will be revised accordingly.
