Like most website operators, HashtagCMS collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request.

Our purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how visitors use the website. From time to time, we may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Certain visitors to HashtagCMS choose to interact with us in ways that require us to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that we gather depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who reach out via support forms to provide an email address.

In each case, HashtagCMS collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction. We do not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. All information collected will be handled in accordance with GDPR legislation.

HashtagCMS discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its administrators, employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations that:

• Need to know that information in order to process it on HashtagCMS’s behalf or to provide services available at HashtagCMS websites.
• Have agreed not to disclose it to others.

HashtagCMS will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its administrators, employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, HashtagCMS discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of HashtagCMS, third parties or the public at large.

We use the information you provide to registered for an account, attend our events, receive newsletters, use certain other services, or participate in the HashtagCMS open source project.

We will not sell or lease your personal information to third parties unless we have your permission or are required by law to do so.

We rely on one or more of the following processing conditions:

• Our legitimate interests in the effective delivery of information and services to you.
• Explicit consent that you have given.
• Legal obligations.

We will retain your personal information on our systems only for as long as we need to, for the success of the HashtagCMS open source project and the programs that support it. We keep contact information until a user unsubscribes or requests that we delete that information from our live systems.

HashtagCMS will not delete personal data from logs or records necessary to the operation, development, or archives of the project.

You may have certain rights under data protection law in relation to the personal information we hold about you. In particular, you may have a right to:

• Request a copy of personal information we hold about you.
