Privacy Policy

Who We Are

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

Categories of Data Collected

We collect various categories of personal data from our visitors including contact information (e.g., email address), usage data (e.g., IP address, browser user agent), and any data provided in comments or through media uploads. This data is used for site functionality, security, and enhancing user experience.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with 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/. 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, please 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

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 visit our login page, 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.

When you log in, we will also set several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out of your account will remove the login cookies.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.

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 same way as if the visitor had visited the other website directly.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell your personal data. Any sharing of data is limited to third-party service providers that assist with website functionality (such as spam detection) and are contractually obligated to safeguard your information. If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely to 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 provided in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Your Rights and California Privacy Rights

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

In addition to these rights, California residents have the right to request information about the categories of personal data we collect, the purposes for which we use your data, and whether we disclose your data to third parties. If you believe your rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) or California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) have been violated, please contact us using the information provided below.

Where Your Data is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service, which may process your data in accordance with its own privacy policy.
