Privacy Policy

Who are we ?

The address of our site is : https://mygrowthbox.com/. We are an independent website founded by tech and growth hacking enthusiasts. To learn more, check out the “About” section.

Comments

When you leave a comment on our site, the data entered in the comment form, as well as your IP address and your browser’s user agent are collected to help us detect unwanted comments.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The privacy policy of the Gravatar service is available here : https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible next to your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the site, we recommend avoiding uploading images that contain EXIF GPS location data. Visitors to your site can download and extract location data from these images.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you will be offered to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is solely for your convenience so that you do not have to enter this information if you leave another comment later. These cookies expire after one year.

If you visit the login page, a temporary cookie will be created to determine if your browser accepts cookies. It does not contain any personal data and will be deleted automatically when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will set a number of cookies to save your login information and screen preferences. The lifespan of a login cookie is two days, while the lifespan of a screen option cookie is one year. If you check “Remember me,” your login cookie will be retained for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookie will be deleted.

When you edit or publish a post, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie does not include any personal data. It simply indicates the ID of the post you just edited. It expires after one day.

We also use Google Analytics to measure the traffic to our site and improve its content. These cookies are only set with your consent, collected via the cookie banner during your first visit. You can accept, refuse, or customize your choice at any time by clicking on “Manage my cookies” at the bottom of the page.

Newsletter

When you sign up for our newsletter, we only collect your email address. This collection is based on your consent (confirmation of subscription).
Your email address is used exclusively for sending the newsletter and is kept until you unsubscribe. You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the link at the bottom of each email.

Embedded content from other sites

The articles on this site may include embedded content (for example, videos, images, articles…). Embedded content from other sites behaves in the same way as if the visitor had visited that other site. If we have used an image or video for which the rights are not free on our site, we commit to removing it immediately after being contacted about it.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking tools, and track your interactions with that embedded content if you have an account logged in on their website.

Use and transmission of your personal data

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

Retention periods for your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows for the automatic recognition and approval of subsequent comments instead of leaving them in the moderation queue.

For accounts that register on our site (if applicable), we also store the personal data indicated in their profile. All accounts can view, modify, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Site managers can also view and modify this information.

Your rights regarding your data

If you have an account or have left comments on the site, you can request to receive a file containing all the personal data we hold about you, including the data you have provided to us. You can also request the deletion of personal data concerning you. This does not include data stored for administrative, legal, or security reasons.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Legal basis for processing

The data processing carried out on this site is based on:

• consent (for example, when you leave a comment or accept cookies),
• or the legitimate interest of the publisher (for example, to ensure the security of the site and moderation of comments).

Exercising your rights

You can exercise your rights of access, rectification, opposition, deletion, and portability by contacting us at the following address: hello@mygrowthbox.com.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the CNIL.

Transfer outside the European Union

Some third-party services used on this site (for example, Gravatar or possibly embedded content like YouTube) may involve a transfer of data outside the European Union. In this case, these services commit to implementing the appropriate safeguards required by European regulations.
