Dominant Digitally

Privacy Policy

Who we are

Our website address is: [www.dominantdigitally.com]. At Dominant Digitally, we operate as your strategic digital growth partner. While we scale your brand online through SEO, web development, and marketing, protecting the data you share with us is our top priority. This policy explains how we handle your information transparently.

Comments

When you interact with our site or leave a comment, we collect the details shown in the comments form. To protect our platform from spam and maintain a clean environment, we also track your IP address and browser user agent string.

Note on Profile Pictures: An anonymized string (hash) created from your email may be shared with the Gravatar service to verify if you use it. You can review their privacy terms here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes visible alongside your comment.

Media

If you upload images or assets directly to our website, please ensure they do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can potentially download these images and extract any location details attached to them.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies to streamline your browsing experience and keep things seamless:

  • Comments: If you leave a comment, you can choose to save your name, email, and website. This saves you from re-entering your details next time. These cookies last for one year.

  • Login & Authentication: When visiting our login page, a temporary cookie checks if your browser accepts cookies (contains no personal data, expires when you close the browser). Once logged in, we set up cookies to remember your login info and screen setup. Login cookies last for two days (or two weeks if you check “Remember Me”).

  • Content Management: If you edit or publish a post, a simple cookie tracking the post ID is saved. It carries zero personal data and expires after 24 hours.

Embedded content from other websites

Our articles or case studies may feature embedded content (like videos, images, or feeds). This content behaves exactly as if you visited the external website directly.

Please note that these third-party websites may collect data about you, use their own cookies, embed extra tracking, and monitor how you interact with that content, especially if you are logged into their platform at the time.

Who we share your data with

We do not sell, trade, or compromise your data. It stays strictly within Dominant Digitally for operational needs. The only exception is when you request a password reset; in that specific scenario, your IP address is included in the automated reset email for verification.

How long we retain your data

  • Conversations & Feedback: If you leave a comment, both the comment and its metadata are kept indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve your subsequent comments automatically without keeping them stuck in a moderation queue.

  • Registered Profiles: For users or team members registered on our platform, we store the personal info provided in their profile. You retain full control to view, edit, or delete your personal details at any time (usernames cannot be changed). Our web administrators can also access and manage this info.

Your Control Over Your Data

If you have an account on this site or have engaged with our content, you have the right to request an export of the personal data we have on record. Furthermore, you can request that we completely erase any personal information we hold. This does not apply to data we are legally, administratively, or securely obligated to keep.

Automated Checks

To keep our platform secure and free from bots, visitor comments and form submissions may be processed by an automated spam detection system.
