Privacy Policy

Lots of boring info about how we handle data, protect data, use data, and so on.

Who We Are 

You Betcha Co. is a creative studio based out of Minnesota. This site (https://youbetcha.co) is an asset of our company.  

Do We Collect Data? If so, what kind of data is it?

Yes, we do collect data in several fashions. However, we handle it very carefully and work to ensure that it is not compromised or abused. 

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our 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 (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/. 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 our site, 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. 

Contact Forms

If you fill out a contact form on this site, we’ll be provided with the information that you voluntarily share and submit. We may share that information internally and will store it indefinitely so that we can contact you.

You can always send us a request to delete your contact information if you’d like. 

Cookies

 If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are 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 have an account and you log in to this site, 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.

Also, like many sites do, we use cookies to help us with our marketing efforts. We may store information your browser provides us when you enter the site for the purpose of re-marketing or personalizing our site’s offering. If you’d like to have this information deleted, please send us a request via email. 

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.

Analytics

We use a third-party tool, Google Analytics, to track the way users interact with the content on our site. Google Analytics is our data processor and may store personal information including a “User ID”. This User ID is an alphanumeric identifier used in our database, but it does not contain any other private information in plain-text. A User ID does not contain a plain-text username or email address.

To have information pertaining to your site visit removed, please contact us.

Who We Share Your Data With

We may share your data with third-party companies for the purpose of forwarding our marketing efforts. We never sell personal data to anyone for any reason. 

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. 

The 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.

Where We Send Your Data 

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. We may also have your data run through various third-party security services to keep us and our visitors safe. 

Your Contact Information

When you give us your contact information, we store it indefinitely so that we can correspond with you or send you our newsletter or other relevant materials. We never sell your contact information for any reason.
