Who we are

Welcome to the Privacy Policy for thirteen-ten nanometer networks Ltd. Our registered address is at 3c Hopewell House, Whitehill Industrial Estate, Royal Wootton Bassett, Wiltshire, SN4 7DB, United Kingdom. Our website address is https://www.1310nm.net.

This page is to help you understand the data we collect and hold on you. We receive and retain this via the day-to-day operation of this website.

What personal data we collect and why we collect it

By default, 1310nm.net does not collect any personal data about unregistered visitors. We only collect the data shown on the User Profile screen from registered users. You just have personal data on this blog if you are a registered user.

We use your IP address, username, and email address during and after registration to validate that you are not a comment spammer.

Comments

When registered 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.

Please bear in mind that comments are public. All users of this blog may read them, and the search engines that scan this site will index them.

An anonymised string created from your email address (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.

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 same way as if the visitor has visited the other website directly.

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.

The Google Privacy Policy covers embedded content from YouTube included on this website.

All searches performed using the internal site search are logged, including the following information: the search query, the number of hits found, user ID (for users who are logged in), date and time and the IP address. The IP address is stored for security and auditing purposes for 60 days before they are automatically removed.

Analytics

We use different analytics services to support our understanding of your use of this blog, so we can tailor content to reflect both what we wish to provide and what you do read.

Google Analytics and Automattic WordPress JetPack provide our analytics services. These take the URL visited, the IP address that visited the site, and the referring page from which you arrived. The WordPress JetPack statistics additionally takes browser language and country code settings. These are used to provide the following activity tracking: Post and page views, outbound link clicks, referring URLs and search engine terms, and country.

Sharing
