Who we are
Our website address is: https://datafam.net.
Comments
When 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.
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 the website, 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.
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 visit our login page, 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.
Advertising
This site displays advertising through Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other sites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this and other sites.
You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info.
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, you will be asked for consent before personalised advertising cookies are set. You can change or withdraw that choice at any time through the consent options presented on the site.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how the site is used — which pages are visited, roughly where visitors come from, and how they arrive. Google Analytics sets cookies and collects an IP address to derive approximate location; it is not stored, and we do not use Analytics to identify individual people. If you decline analytics cookies in the consent notice, these cookies are not set. See Google’s Privacy Policy and how Google uses data from sites that use its services.
Your advertising choices
Advertising on this site is served by Google AdSense and its partners.
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, a consent notice appears before any personalised advertising or analytics cookie is set. You can change or withdraw that choice at any time using the privacy options link on the site.
If you are in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia or another US state with a consumer privacy law, you have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information for targeted advertising. Use the **”Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information”** control shown on the site to opt out. When you do, Google applies restricted data processing and continues to serve non-personalised advertising. We do not sell personal information for money.
Anywhere else, you can opt out of personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings or, for participating vendors generally, at aboutads.info and youronlinechoices.eu.
We do not knowingly collect information from children, and this site is not directed at children.
Fonts and embedded video
Pages load typefaces from Google Fonts, which requires a request to Google’s servers. Talk pages embed video from YouTube and load thumbnail images from YouTube’s servers. YouTube may set cookies once you play a video. Embedded videos use YouTube’s youtube-nocookie.com domain where possible.
Recordings, transcripts and speaker pages
This site publishes recordings of Tableau User Group meetings, along with machine-generated transcripts of what was said, the names of the people who spoke, and profile pages listing their talks.
Transcripts are produced automatically from the audio and may contain errors, including in how names are rendered. If you spoke at a meeting and would like your name removed, a transcript corrected, or a recording taken down, contact us and we will action it.
If you spoke at a meeting and would like your name removed, a transcript corrected, or a recording taken down, email team.datafam@gmail.com and we will action it. Transcripts are produced automatically from the audio and are lightly corrected; errors in names are the most common, and we would rather fix one than leave it published.
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.
Who we share your data with
– Google — AdSense serves the advertising on this site and Google Analytics measures its use. Both receive your IP address and cookie identifiers when you load a page.
– YouTube — talk pages embed the original recording. Embeds use the youtube-nocookie.com domain, so YouTube sets no tracking cookie until you press play.
– Google Fonts — pages request typefaces from Google’s servers, which involves your IP address.
– Gravatar — if you comment, a hash of your email address may be sent to Gravatar to look up an avatar.
– If you request a password reset, your IP address is included in the reset email.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with anyone else.
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.
What 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 your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
