What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Who we share your data with

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.

Google Analytics will retain your data for 26 months. We anonymize IP Address of our website users so only basic statistics can be related to the user.

Where we send your data

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

We don’t share your data with 3rd parties unless we are working with them to provide our services to you. For the moment, we use Google Analytics, JetPack Stats and a Newsletter. Note that since it’s creation in 2014 our website has never sent out a single Newsletter yet, due to practical reasons and the fact that we do not believe in bombarding our users with info they can already get in our Facebook or Youtube pages/channels.

We send infrequent emails that may include info on product updates, news, exclusive offers and discounts or other content related to Inspektor Gadjet or music making in general. Note that if you don’t want to receive communications from us you can always instantly unsubscribe with one click.
