Privacy Policy
Who I am
This website, ghattasbanoub.com, is the personal site of Ghattas Banoub. If you have any question about your information, email ghattasbanoub@gmail.com.
What I collect
- When you register to comment: your full name, phone number and email address. Your email is confirmed with a one-time code.
- When you post a comment: the comment text, the date, and the page it was posted on.
- When you subscribe: your email address and, if you choose, your name. You can also subscribe while registering by ticking "Email me when new tutorials are published" — it's off unless you choose it.
- For spam protection: a scrambled (hashed) version of your IP address, used to limit repeated submissions. It can't be turned back into your IP address.
How I use it
- Your name is shown next to comments that I approve.
- Your email and phone are kept private. I may use them to reply to your question or to contact you about your comment.
- Subscriber emails are used only to tell you about new tutorials.
- Every comment is reviewed before it appears on the site.
Cookies
The site uses one small cookie to remember that you've registered, so you don't have to register again on the same device. It lasts up to one year and you can remove it any time with the "Not you?" link or by clearing your browser cookies. There are no advertising or tracking cookies and no third-party analytics.
The page loads fonts from Google Fonts, which means your browser connects to Google's servers to download them.
Sharing
I don't sell, rent or share your information with anyone for marketing. The data is stored on the website's hosting provider (HostGator), which keeps the servers running. I may disclose information if the law requires it.
How long I keep it
I keep your registration, comments and subscription until you ask me to delete them, or until I no longer need them for this site.
Your choices
- Ask to see, correct or delete the information I hold about you.
- Unsubscribe from updates at any time.
- Ask me to remove a comment you posted.
Just email ghattasbanoub@gmail.com from the address you registered with.
Security
The site uses HTTPS, stored data is blocked from public access, and only I can see members' contact details. No method of storage is 100% secure, but I take reasonable steps to protect your information.
Children
This site is meant for adults working in or learning about HVAC. It isn't directed at children under 13, and I don't knowingly collect their information.
Changes
If this policy changes, I'll update the date at the top of this page.
