COMMENTS, BE NICE

I love nice people. I loathe spammers, especially those that use commenting for their own promotions. For that reason, all comments on KamiSpangenberg.com are reviewed by site administrators (me plus my trusted partners) prior to posting. Note that your comment will be held in a queue until approved, so we ask for your patience in this era of instant everything. I encourage site visitors to engage only in positive discussion via the comments. Nothing else will be tolerated. This site bears my name, representing my personal brand. Nice or not. The end.

And now some technical, behind-the-scenes stuff about me and my team.

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. We try to reply to all comments left on this site. We don’t, however, share site visitor information with third parties, and we don’t contact you unless you give us your advance permission.

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. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

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.

One more thing. Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Because again, we just say no to spam.

MEDIA, RIGHTS ARE RIGHTS

It is not our intention to infringe on the copyright of any artist in content shared.

COOKIES, CHOCOLATE CHIP AND OTHERWISE

Our team’s favorite cookies are chocolate chip.

Regarding cookies of the non-baked variety, 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 up 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.

Hungry now?

OTHER PEOPLE’S STUFF

Posts 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.

We are not unique in this practice but want you to understand that the World Wide Web is interconnected. It’s a web, after all.

And another thing: We might let other folks advertise on this site. Hey, you just never know. This does not imply our endorsement of an outside business, its offerings, their people or the polices and manner by which they conduct their business. What’s theirs is theirs and what’s ours is ours, and we like to keep it that way. If an issue arises that you wish to address with a third-party represented on our site, contact them directly for assistance. To be frank, we don’t assume any liability for the actions of others and won’t be able to help you, as nice as we aim to be.

YOUR STUFF

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information you provide in your 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.

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. Ask us and please be a little patient; we will get you your stuff. Promise.
