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.

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 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. 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.

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.

Who we share your data with

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

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.

What rights you have over your data

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.

Where your data is sent

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

Your contact information

We don’t share your contact information with anyone outside of our organization for anything other than internal communication between NSS employees and NSS software tools for scheduling, billing, direct marketing, and contacting the client with their consent. Your contact information entered into our website is retained within our systems regardless of if you become a customer or not. No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. All other categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.

Opt-In Texting

New contacts can opt-in to texting via the contact forms on our website. They will then be able to text with our staff about their needs and potential projects. Once they become a client, they will be asked to opt-in to Service Auto Pilot messaging for scheduling, service reminders, project updates, and invoice reminders via a form hosted by Service Auto Pilot sent in an email. The information collected through our website is stored on a secure and encrypted server. We ask our current clients for permission through an email with a form to opt-in to text messaging hosted by Service Auto Pilot. This form details the purposes of the messages. Website users who complete a contact form inquiry are asked to opt-in on that form and again with the first text message sent. Customers can choose to opt-out of receiving text message from NSS or Service Autopilot at any time. See SMS Disclaimer below.

SMS Disclamer

Norwalk Seasonal Services sends appointment scheduling, service reminders, invoice reminders, appointment updates, appointment information, and contract communications via opt-in text messages. Message & data rates may apply. Message frequency may vary. You can text HELP for support or STOP at any time to unsubscribe. Your phone number will not be shared with third parties for marketing or promotional purposes.
