Introduction


This policy explains how we handle your personal information when you use our website: https://www.ccss.soltechnology.com.au.


1. Who We Are

Our website address is https://www.ccss.soltechnology.com.au.


2. Information Collected Through Comments

When you leave comments on our site, we collect the information you provide in the comment form. We also record your browser user agent and IP address to help with spam detection. If you use a Gravatar profile image, an anonymised version (a “hash”) of your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to retrieve your avatar.


3. Media Uploads

If you upload images to our site, please avoid embedding location data (such as GPS coordinates) in the image metadata. Other visitors may be able to view this data.


4. Cookies

If you choose to save your information when leaving a comment (name, email, website), we may store cookies to make future comments easier to enter.
We also use temporary and login cookies to check if your browser accepts cookies and to manage your logged-in session. These cookies help improve your experience but do not contain personal data.


5. Embedded Content from Other Sites

Articles on this site may contain embedded content (like videos or images hosted elsewhere). These external sites behave as if you visited them directly, meaning they may collect information, use cookies, and track interactions according to their own privacy practices.


6. Data Shared With Others

If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the email sent to you.


7. Data Retention

  • Comments and Metadata: Stored indefinitely so that follow-up comments are recognised without moderation.

  • Registered Users: Information provided in user profiles is kept until you choose to update or delete it. Administrators may also edit this data.


8. Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account or have posted comments, you can request:

  • A copy of the personal data we hold about you.

  • That we erase your personal data (except information we are legally required to keep).


9. Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked by automated services that assist with spam detection.
