Who We Are

Welcome to ESTTHERM™. Our website address is https://www.esttherm.com. This privacy policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you visit or interact with our website.

What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It

  1. Comments

    When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data provided in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist with spam detection. An anonymized string generated from your email address (a hash) may be shared with the Gravatar service to determine if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy can be found here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public alongside your comment.

  2. Media

    If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading images that include embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images posted on the site.
