What personal data we collect and why we collect it
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.

Who we share your data with
FlexTek may share your personal information with outside entities hired to assist with FlexTek’s internal support operations (e.g. cloud service providers, packaging and mailing services, event registration, etc.). We only provide those companies the information they need to deliver the service, and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.
FlexTek does not sell, rent, or otherwise disclose information collected from and about its web site visitors to third parties. However, in the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, bankruptcy, or other similar event, your personal information may be transferred to FlexTek’s successor or assign, if permitted by and done in accordance with applicable law.
FlexTek may disclose your contact information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to:
- Conform to the edicts of the law including disclosure of information in response to lawful requests by public authorities, national security or law enforcement requests, or comply with legal process served on FlexTek.
- Protect and defend the rights or property of FlexTek and its web site.
- Investigations of fraud, intellectual property right infringements, or other activity that is illegal.
- Act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of FlexTek employees, users of FlexTek products or services, or members of the public.
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.
