Who we are

AgForInsight.com is wholly owned by George W. Powell. My website address is: http://www.agforinsight.com. I am committed to protecting the privacy of personal information of my clients and website visitors. This Privacy Policy has been prepared to affirm my commitment to maintaining high standards of confidentiality, to provide information on the practices concerning the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information, and to comply with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) of British Columbia and other applicable statutes.

What personal data is collected and why it is collected

A visitor to this website is not required to reveal any individually identifiable information, nor is such information collected passively by electronic means. Personal information is only collected when an individual voluntarily submits his or her information. The personal information collected in this manner is subject in full to the Privacy Policy contained in this document.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the website, the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string are recorded to help spam detection.

If you do nothing during your visit but browse through the website, read pages, or download information, AgForInsight.com neither gather nor store any personal information about you. The web server hosting AgForInsight.com collects statistical data about visitor information used only in aggregate. This tracking system does not record personal information about individuals or link this information to any other personal data collected.

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 is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on the site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are solely 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 website, a temporary cookie will be assigned to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behave in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

Such aggregate information is used to give demographic data about the website visitors.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an off-site automated spam detection service.

AgForInsight.com may use third-party advertising companies to serve advertisements when you visit this website. These companies may use information (but NOT your name, address, email address, or telephone number) about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.

Data Retention

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so the site can automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them for moderation.

For users (if any) that register on this website, any personal information they provide in their user profile will also be stored. 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.
