Privacy Policy | Who We Are

Our Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your data when you visit our website: https://velocitygroupservices.com.au.


Comment Data Collection Practices

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

We may provide an anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. You can view the Gravatar service privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval, your profile picture will become visible to the public in the context of your comment.


Handling of Media and User Data

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


Cookie Usage on Our Website

By leaving a comment, you may opt-in to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This makes it easier for you not to re-enter your details when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

When you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and will be discarded when you close your browser.

If you log in, we will save cookies to store your login information and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” we will keep your login active for two weeks. If you log out, we will remove the login cookies.

An additional cookie will be saved in your browser if you edit or publish an article. This cookie doesn’t contain personal data; it simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.


Embedded Content and External Links

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if you had visited those websites.

These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content. They may track your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to their site.


Password Reset and Data Sharing

If you request a password reset, we will include your IP address in the reset email.


Data Retention Periods

If you leave a comment, we will retain the comment and its metadata indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

If you register on our website, we will store the personal information you provide in your user profile. You can view, edit, or delete your personal information at any time (except for your username). Website administrators can also view and edit this information.


Your Rights to Access and Modify Data

If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided. You can also ask us to erase any personal data we hold about you. We will not erase data we must keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.


Data Protection Measures

We may check visitor comments through an automated spam detection service.
