Our website address is: https://hotlum.org.
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.
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.
When you submit a contact form on this website, we collect the information you provide, such as your name, email address, and message. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry and provide information about Hotlum programs, events, and activities.
If you choose to subscribe to our mailing list, your information may be stored with our email service provider for the purpose of sending newsletters and event updates. You may unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link included in our emails.
We may use website analytics tools to understand how visitors use our website. These tools may collect information such as pages visited, time spent on the site, browser type, and general geographic location. This information is used to improve our website and services.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share information with trusted third-party service providers who help us operate our website, manage email communications, or protect against spam, and only to the extent necessary for those services.

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
In the event of a data breach that may affect personal information, we will investigate the incident, take appropriate corrective actions, and provide notifications as required by applicable laws.
We do not knowingly receive personal data about visitors from third parties, except where necessary to provide services such as spam protection, website hosting, or email communications.
We do not use personal data for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects.
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 have an account and you log in to this site, 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.
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.
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.
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.
California residents may request information about the personal information we collect and how it is used. California residents may also request deletion of personal information, subject to applicable legal exceptions. Hotlum does not sell personal information.
