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.

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.

InCompass Ink has no control of how third parties collect information about you. We advise you to contact those respective third-party sites and review their privacy policies to learn more.
Contact forms
Whenever you submit a comment or contact form through our website, we may ask for your name and email address. Your information is encrypted as it transmits from your browser to our web server so that your private information is not intercepted by third parties. In addition, we never share or sell your information to third parties.
The information you submit is used solely to respond to website inquiries or comments and is deleted after one month to ensure that your inquiry has been adequately answered.
Analytics
We do business with the following third parties. They collect and use your personal information through secure SSL encryption as follows:
- Google Analytics – Google Analytics uses log files as described above. Google does not have access to this data, but anyone who has access to your search console will have access to this data.
- Cloudflare – Cloudflare is a content delivery network (CDN) that analyzes traffic to our website in an effort to prevent bad bot attacks.
- Iridium Hosting – Provides and uses web traffic statistics as per log files above in an effort to prevent bad bot attacks and provide anonymous visitor demographic data for our website.
- YouTube – We provide links to YouTube videos on our website, which is treated the same as if watching directly on YouTube. YouTube will use the IP information to record video views.
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.
