At Thrive Green Media Ltd, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of any personal information you provide when using our website or subscribing to our services. This privacy policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your data.
Who We Are
Our website address is: https://thrivegreenmedia.com. Thrive Green Media Ltd is a digital marketing and branding agency committed to providing a safe and secure experience for all users.
What Personal Data We Collect and Why
- Comments: When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data provided in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture, if you use one, will be visible to the public alongside your comment. You can view Gravatar’s privacy policy here.
- Media: If you upload images to our website, you should avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images on the site.
- Cookies:
- If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience, allowing you to avoid re-entering your details for future comments. These cookies last for one year.
- If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will be set to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.
- When you log in, we will also set cookies to save your login information and screen preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen preference cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out, the login cookies will be removed.
- If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser, which simply stores the post ID of the article you just edited. This expires after 1 day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content behaves the same way as if the visitor had visited the other website directly. These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your interactions if you are logged into their website.
Who We Share Your Data With
We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties, except as necessary to provide our services, comply with legal obligations, or protect our rights.
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
- If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This helps us automatically approve any follow-up comments rather than holding them in a moderation queue.
- For users who register on our site, we store the personal information provided in their user profiles. Users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except their username). Website administrators can also view and edit this information.
Your Rights Over Your Data
- If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold, including any data you’ve provided to us.
- You may also request that we delete any personal data we hold about you. However, this does not include data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where Your Data is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service to ensure site security and performance.
Data Protection and Security
We are committed to safeguarding your personal information and ensuring that any data shared with us remains confidential. We comply with the Nigerian Data Protection Regulation (NDPR) and any other applicable data privacy laws to maintain the highest level of security.
