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 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.
Media
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.
Cookies and tracking technologies
Relofession uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve site functionality and to support advertising.
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies 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 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 1 day.
Cookies may also be placed by Google and its advertising partners through the Google AdSense program.
Google, as a third party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on this site. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet.
You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings at https://adssettings.google.com.
Third party vendors, including Google, may also use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website or other websites.

How we use information
We use collected information to:
- Operate and maintain the website.
- Analyse site traffic and reader behaviour to improve content.
- Display relevant advertising through Google AdSense and other ad networks.
- Respond to reader inquiries sent through our contact channels.
Third party services
Relofession may use third party services for analytics and advertising, including but not limited to Google Analytics and Google AdSense.
These services may collect and process data according to their own privacy policies.
We encourage you to review Google’s Privacy and Terms page at https://policies.google.com/privacy for more information on how Google handles data.
Embedded content from other websites
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.
Data sharing
We do not sell, rent or trade personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.
Information may be shared with service providers strictly to operate the site, such as hosting and analytics providers, and these providers are bound by their own data protection obligations.
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
And if you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
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.
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.
Your choices
You can control or limit cookies through your browser settings.
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, though this may affect site functionality.
You may also opt out of interest based advertising through the Google and Digital Advertising Alliance links listed above.
Children’s privacy
Relofession is intended for a general adult audience of working professionals considering relocation.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements.
Updates will be posted on this page with a revised date.
