After approval of your comment, your profile picture may be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
3. Media
If you upload images or media files to the website, you should avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS).
Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images posted publicly.

4. Cookies
Cookies are small files stored on your device that help websites improve user experience.
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt in to saving your:
- Name
- Email address
- Website
in cookies. These are for your convenience so you do not have to fill in your details again when leaving another comment.
These cookies will last for one year.
Login Cookies
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 set up cookies to save:
- Your login information

Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one year.
If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks.
If you log out, the login cookies will be removed.
Editing Cookies
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser.

It expires after 1 day.
5. Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, social media posts, etc.).
Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the external website directly.
These websites may:
- Collect data about you

- Monitor your interaction with embedded content
This includes tracking if you have an account and are logged into that external platform.
CLB Technologies is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites.
6. Who we share your data with
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data.
However, your data may be shared in limited cases, such as:
- Spam detection services
- Website hosting and cloud infrastructure providers
- Payment processors (if applicable)
- Legal authorities, when required by law
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security purposes.
7. How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely.
This helps us recognize and approve 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 provided in their user profile.
All users can:
- View their personal information
- Edit their personal information
- Request deletion of their information
Except they cannot change their username.

9. Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Additionally, data may be processed outside Malawi depending on where our hosting or cloud service providers are located, but we ensure reasonable safeguards are in place to protect your information.
10. Security of your information
We take cybersecurity seriously.
CLB Technologies implements reasonable technical and organizational measures such as:
- SSL encryption
- Secure authentication systems
- Firewall protection
