Who We Are

Our website address is: https://onicsim.com.pk/.

What Data We Collect and Why

When you interact with our website, we collect certain information to enhance your experience and ensure smooth operation of our services.

  • Comments: When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comment form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist with spam detection. If you use Gravatar, an anonymized string created from your email address (a “hash”) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. After your comment is approved, your profile picture (if applicable) will be visible to the public.
  • Media: If you upload images, ensure they do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from such images.

Cookies

To enhance your experience, we use cookies in the following ways:

  • If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are stored for your convenience, so you don’t have to fill in your details again the next time. They will remain for one year.
  • When you visit our login page, we place a temporary cookie to check whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is removed when you close your browser.
  • When you log in, we set cookies to store your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen option cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out will remove these cookies.
  • If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser, storing the post ID of the edited article. This cookie will expire after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content behaves exactly as if you visited the original website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking if you have an account and are logged in to that site.

Who We Share Your Data With

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

How Long We Retain Your Data

  • Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely to automatically approve future comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
  • Registered Users: If you register on our website, we store the personal information you provide in your user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, but usernames cannot be changed. Website administrators can also view and edit this information.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of your personal data, including any data you have provided. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold. This does not include data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security reasons.

Where Your Data Is Sent

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