This policy explains how Torquenza handles information when you visit torquenza.com, contact our team, or use our website features. For privacy questions or requests, email contact@torquenza.com.
Information we receive
When you contact us, we receive the details you provide, such as your name, email address, subject, message, and any information or attachments you choose to send. Our contact form is processed by FormSubmit and delivered to our email inbox. Please avoid submitting sensitive personal information that is not needed for your enquiry.
For staff and contributors with website accounts, WordPress stores account details, profile information, contributions, and information needed to manage access and editorial work. Information intended for publication, such as bylines, author biographies, photographs, and article contributions, may be publicly visible.
Our hosting, security, statistics, and advertising services may receive technical information such as IP addresses, browser and device details, pages viewed, referring pages, approximate location derived from an IP address, and the time of a visit. The information collected depends on the services involved, your browser settings, and your interactions with the site.
How information is used
Information is used to deliver the website and its features, respond to enquiries, manage editorial contributions and staff access, understand readership, maintain security, prevent abuse, and support advertising. If you choose to subscribe to an email service we offer, the information you submit is used to provide that service; follow the unsubscribe instructions in those messages to stop receiving them.
Cookies and browser storage
Cookies are small files placed in your browser. Local storage is another way a website can remember information on your device. Torquenza and its service providers may use these technologies for sign-in, preferences, saved stories, traffic measurement, security, and advertising. Clearing browser storage can remove saved preferences or stories, and blocking cookies can affect some features.
Google AdSense and advertising
Torquenza has integrated Google AdSense. When advertising services operate, Google and other advertising vendors may use cookies to select ads using activity on this website and other websites. Google’s advertising cookies allow Google and its partners to personalize advertising based on browsing activity.
Advertising services may also use web beacons, IP addresses, device information, and other identifiers to deliver and measure ads and help prevent fraud. Third parties may place or read cookies in your browser as part of these services.
You can manage Google ad personalization through My Ad Center and learn how Google processes information through How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and the Google Privacy Policy. You can also explore participating vendors’ advertising choices at YourAdChoices. Opting out of personalization does not necessarily stop advertising or all data collection.
Service providers and external websites
Torquenza uses WordPress.com and Jetpack services from Automattic for website hosting and related functionality, including site statistics. Learn more in Automattic’s Privacy Notice for Visitors to Our Users’ Sites. Contact form submissions are handled through FormSubmit, and email is handled through our email provider, Purelymail. These providers process information needed to deliver their services.
Links to social networks, race organizers, photographers, and other websites lead to services with their own privacy practices. Embedded third-party content, when present, may connect to its provider and collect information as if you visited that provider directly.
Information may also be disclosed where necessary to comply with applicable legal requirements, respond to lawful requests, protect rights and safety, or address fraud and security incidents.
Retention and security
Retention depends on the purpose and type of information. Correspondence, account records, published contributions, technical logs, and service-provider backups can have different retention periods. Contact us about information you want removed; some records may need to be retained for security, legal obligations, or the integrity of published editorial material.
No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. Our hosting and service providers maintain their own security measures, and access to administrative functions is restricted to authorized accounts.
Your choices and privacy requests
You can control cookies and website storage in your browser and use the advertising choices linked above. Depending on your location and the laws that apply, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of personal information, restrict or object to certain processing, withdraw consent, or opt out of certain advertising-related sharing.
To make a request, email contact@torquenza.com with enough detail for us to identify the relevant information. We may need to verify your identity before responding. Applicable exceptions and legal requirements may affect how a request can be fulfilled. Where relevant, you may also contact your local data protection authority.
International processing and children
Our service providers may process information in countries other than where you live, including the United States. Their privacy notices describe their international processing practices and safeguards.
Torquenza is a general-audience publication and is not directed at children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact us so we can review the situation and address removal where appropriate.
Changes and contact
We may revise this policy as the website or its services change. The date at the top identifies the latest revision. Privacy enquiries: contact@torquenza.com.
