Welcome to Power Integration Center (https://elevatewithepic.com). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal information is handled in a safe and responsible manner. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our website and engage with our services.

 

INFORMATION COLLECTED

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with 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/](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, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience, so 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 one 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.

 

USE OF INFORMATION

We use the information we collect to:

• Improve our services and enhance user experience.
• Maintain and administer our website.

We do not share your personal data with third parties, except for:

• If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
• Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

No Mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.

 

DATA RETENTION

Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically, rather than holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profiles. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (excluding username changes). Website administrators also have access to and can edit this information.

 

YOUR RIGHTS

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you may:

• Request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us.
• 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.

 

CHANGES TO POLICY

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted in the Privacy Policy section of our website. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information.
