Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comment 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.
Collection of Personal Information
To run this website and provide the services you have requested, bigsciences.com collects and uses your personal information. Your personally identifiable information is also used by BigSciences.com to let you know about additional goods and services that BigSciences.com and its affiliates offer. Moreover, we take the privacy of your information very seriously and are committed to maintaining it securely. BigSciences.com never offers its customer list or its customers’ personal information for sale, rent, or lease to outside parties. Without your explicit consent, bigsciences.com does not use or disclose sensitive personal data, such as race, religion, or political affiliations.
Every time you contact us or give us information that allows us to recognize you, such as when you email us, call us, or sign up for one of our services, we receive personal information about you.
We specifically gather information about you when you sign up for a user account on bigsciences.com, publish content, or post your job offer details.
We may also gather information from you if you buy a product from us, sign up to receive daily research news or job alerts that we publish for research and education purposes, register for an event, fill out any form with your information, upload your resume for job search purposes, register to ask questions in community forms or email us directly for inquiries.
Additionally, we gather data from log files that contain internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser types, Internet Service Providers (ISPs), date/time stamps, referring/exit pages, and perhaps click counts.
If you do any above-mentioned activities or leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to save 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. Generally, these cookies will last for one year.
Children Protection
Adding protection for kids using the internet is another one of our priorities. We urge parents and guardians to keep an eye on, participate in, monitor, and/or direct their children’s online activity.
We do not intentionally collect any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. We firmly advise you to contact us directly through our contact page if you believe that your child provided this kind of information on bigsciences.com. We will try our best to promptly delete such data from our website files.
Cookies
We specifically use cookies to gather this data. A cookie is a small data set that a web server sends to a web browser to enable the server to gather information from the browser. We may also use cookies to deliver a customized version of the websites to registered users.
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. articles, Job offers, images, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in exactly the same way as if the visitor had 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. Aside from that, we never disclose any of your private or sensitive information to any other third parties.
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 we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service, and if any comments from visitors are found unrelated to the side data or content, the comments will be deleted permanently to maintain our site safe and secure.
