Who we are

Our website address is: https://indigocommunity.com.

Comments

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. 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.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving 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. These cookies will last for one year.

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. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has 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.

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 your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Here are the SMS guidelines if you choose to message the Indigo marketing team:

  • Send no more than 50 messages per originating number per minute
  • If sending marketing, promotional or informational messages, capture written consent of recipients prior to sending your messages
  • Will not use purchased lists or third party generated lead lists when sending SMS
  • Provide clear opt-out instructions on informational, marketing, or promotional messages
  • Avoid using link shorteners and non-branded domains for embedded links
  • Complete required TCR registration prior to sending SMS messages

Automated messaging

Prior to sending any automated messages, we will garner logged consent as outlined by the CTIA guidelines from the recipient to message them. Promotional messages (regardless of if automated) will express, written, and logged consent.  Automated messages will include opt-out language on each message (eg “Reply STOP to end”), and all opt-out requests must be honored.

Opt-in/ user consent

Before sending an SMS message to any number we will have their expressed consent to do so. It's important to note that implied consent is not considered sufficient for SMS outside of immediately responding to a received message, nor is purchasing a list of "users who have opted in to SMS." A user must actively ask to receive SMS messages from us. Remember, consent must be given for each campaign or message type you intend to send. Marketing or promotional messages require the recipients’ express prior written consent.

We will also log and track consent, and opt-ins and opt-outs. In certain cases carriers may request proof that an individual has opted in including an overview of how your opt-in/ opt-out process works.

Opt-out

You may opt of of our SMS messages, via text anytime. The CTIA guidelines provide clear command keywords that must be honored for opt-out requests, including STOP and UNSUBSCRIBE.
