We at The Sikaman Times strive to protect the privacy of our cherished audiences who access our website (www.sikamantimes.com).
Usage of Log Files
The Sikaman Times (www.sikamantimes.com) uses log files in accordance with industry standards. When people visit websites, these files keep track of who they are. This is something that all hosting companies conduct as part of their analytics. Internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and perhaps the number of clicks are among the data gathered by log files. These are not linked to any personally identifiable information. The information is collected for the purposes of evaluating trends, operating the site, tracking users’ movements on the site, and compiling demographic data.
If you post a comment, both the comment and the metadata associated with it are saved eternally. This is so that any subsequent comments will be recognized and approved automatically rather than being held in a moderation queue. We also retain the personal information that users supply in their user profile if they register on our website (if any). At any moment, any user can see, modify, or remove their personal information (except they cannot change their username). The information can also be viewed and edited by website administrators. You can request an exported file of the personal data we possess about you, including any data you have provided to us, if you have an account on our site or have posted comments. 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.
