This privacy policy will explain what personal data Avli collects from you and how we use that data. Avli, Avli.org, “we”, “our” and other references to the website Avli.org all refer to the same entity.
What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Comments
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.
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, you should 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.
Contact forms
Any information you provide in a contact form (i.e. Contact Us, Get Involved!, Sign up for the Newsletter) will be sent to the administrative email. Your information will be internally stored for contact purposes, and will not be shared outside of the administrators of Avli.org.
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 have an account and you log in to this site, 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. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
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 1 day.
You can set your browser to not accept cookies. However, this may affect your experience on our website.
To learn more about cookies, please visit allaboutcookies.org.
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 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. Our Privacy Policy only extends to the contents of our website. If a link on our site should take you to an outside website, please consult that website’s Privacy Policy to better understand your rights.
Analytics
Avli uses Google Analytics and MonsterInsights to better understand trends and the use of our website. The data is anonymized to avoid any personal information.
Payment Information
At the moment, there is no option for purchase or donation on the Avli.org website. However, as the site grows and matures, that option may be made available. This section will be updated at that time.
Who we share your data with
Avli.org does not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others rights, property, or safety. However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.
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.

The Right to Access: 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.
The Right to Rectification: You have the right to request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate, or that we complete information you believe to be incomplete.
The Right to Erasure: You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you, under certain conditions. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

The Right to Object to Processing: You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data, under certain conditions.
