Who we are

Our website address is: https://pulsar.ces.uc.pt/.

Comments

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

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/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Multimedia

When uploading images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded geolocation data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors can download and extract geolocation data from images on the site.

If you visit the login page, a temporary cookie will be set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and will be deleted 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 behaves in the exact same way as if the user has visited the other website.

This website may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, monitor your interactions with this website, including recording your interactions with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to this website.

Who your data is shared with

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How long is your data retained?

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are saved indefinitely. This is so you can automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments, rather than putting them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we 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). Site administrators can also view and edit this information.

What rights do you have over your data?

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that saved data be deleted. This does not include any personal data that we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked using an automated spam detection service.
