Our website address is: https://therealproposal.com.

Your privacy is very important to us. At TheRealProposal.com, we have a few fundamental principles that we follow:

We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. (We can’t stand services that ask you for things like your gender or income level for no apparent reason.)

We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop and sell our products, or protect our rights.

We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of our site.

TheRealProposal.com operates this website and it is our policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website.

What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, TheRealProposal.com collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. TheRealProposal.com’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how TheRealProposal.com’s visitors use its website. From time to time, TheRealProposal.com may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

TheRealProposal.com also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on our blogs. TheRealProposal.com only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.

Comments and Contact Forms

Certain visitors to TheRealProposal.com’s websites choose to interact with TheRealProposal.com in ways that require TheRealProposal.com to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that TheRealProposal.com gathers depends on the nature of the interaction.

For example, we ask visitors who comment on our blog to provide a username and email address. Those who wish to receive TheRealProposal.com updates via email, we collect their emails. In each case, TheRealProposal.com collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with TheRealProposal.com.
TheRealProposal.com does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. Visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

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.

Comments and other content submitted to Akismet or reCaptcha anti-spam service are not saved on our servers unless they were marked as false positives, in which case we store them long enough to use them to improve the service to avoid future false positives.

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.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. TheRealProposal.com uses cookies to help TheRealProposal.com identify and track visitors, their usage of the TheRealProposal.com website, and their website access preferences. TheRealProposal.com visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using TheRealProposal.com’s websites, with the drawback that certain features of TheRealProposal.com’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies

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.

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.

YouTube

Our website uses plugins from YouTube, which is operated by Google. The operator of the pages is YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.

If you visit one of our TheRealProposal.com pages featuring a YouTube plugin, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. Here the YouTube server is informed about which of our pages you have visited.

If you’re logged in to your YouTube account, YouTube allows you to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

YouTube is used to help make our website appealing. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO.

Further information about handling user data, can be found in the data protection declaration of YouTube under https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

Google Web Fonts

For uniform representation of fonts, TheRealProposal.com uses web fonts provided by Google. When you open a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.

For this purpose your browser has to establish a direct connection to Google servers. Google thus becomes aware that our web page was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web fonts is done in the interest of a uniform and attractive presentation of our plugin. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO.

If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font is used by your computer.

Further information about handling user data, can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

Analytics

TheRealProposal.com may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its website. For instance, TheRealProposal.com may monitor the most popular pages on TheRealProposal.com or use spam screened by the Akismet and/or reCaptcha service to help identify spam. TheRealProposal.com may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, TheRealProposal.com does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described above.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize 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.

What rights 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 we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where we send your data

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

Business Transfers

If TheRealProposal.com, or substantially all of its assets were acquired, or in the unlikely event that TheRealProposal.com goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of TheRealProposal.com may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.

Ads

Ads appearing on any of our websites may be delivered to users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by TheRealProposal.com and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.
