Information Collection and Use

Grey Fox Advisor is committed to protecting the privacy of its website users. The information collected is used to enhance and improve the services we offer, refine our website content, and contact you regarding your inquiries or updates related to our services. Additionally, we may use your information for marketing purposes.

Several areas of our website may require registration or a password for access. Information obtained from registered users may be used for marketing purposes, and cookies may be utilized in those areas, as described in this policy. Registered users may also be asked to provide personal information such as name, address, email address, billing information, and business profile to help us further develop our services and provide access to valuable internet-based resources.

We also collect data from visitors to help with spam detection and to understand how our website is used. Our web server captures data such as the date and time of visits, referring addresses, browser types, and visitors’ IP addresses. This information may also be used to enhance the customer experience on our website.

Comments & Submissions

When visitors leave comments or submit information on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form or submission field, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check 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 may be visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to our 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

Cookies are small data files (known as a series of data characters) that are placed on your device by websites you visit, including Grey Fox Advisor. Once stored in your browser’s application folder, these cookies allow the website to recognize you as a unique individual, personalizing your experience and improving our services. For example, cookies enable us to remember your user ID when you log in, making it easier to navigate our site. You may also choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies when leaving a comment, simplifying future interactions by not requiring you to re-enter your details. These cookies typically last for at least one year. When you visit our login page, we 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. We also use cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences, which may persist for at least two weeks if you select “Remember Me.” If you log out of your account, the login cookies may be removed. You have the option to remove cookies from your hard drive or change your browser settings to block them. For more information on managing cookies, please consult your browser provider.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on our site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you visited those websites directly. These external sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction 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. We may also share your data with contractors, vendors, or suppliers to assist us in processing information obtained through our website. Our practice is to require these third parties to conduct such activities consistent with this policy.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. For users that register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for their username. Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Grey Fox Advisor Use of Information

The information collected through this website helps Grey Fox Advisor identify the type of website content our customers value most. We use this information to market and improve the website and our services. We may also use this information to send you email notifications about updates to the website and to contact you by other means for marketing and other purposes. Our policy is not to give, sell, or otherwise distribute the information collected through this site to third parties outside of Grey Fox Advisor (unless compelled by law) — provided, however, in some cases, we may use contractors, vendors, or suppliers to assist us in collecting, using, or otherwise processing for our benefit the information obtained through this website. Our practice is to require our contractors, vendors, and suppliers to conduct such activities consistent with this policy and our requirements.
