Key Definitions

Cookies: Text files known as “cookies,” which are normally modest in size, are stored on your computer by a website server. Cookies can neither run programs on your computer nor spread infections. Only a web server on the domain that issued the cookie to you can read cookies that have been specifically assigned to you.

Personal Data: Any information that, alone or in conjunction with other data, can be used to identify you is referred to as “personal data.” Aggregate Information and other anonymous data (such as metadata) gathered by AwQi that cannot be used to identify you are not considered personal data, even if they were created using your personal data.

Usage Data: “Usage Data” refers to information concerning your use of the Services, including information about the computer or other access device you use, your browser type, domain names, the pages you view and for how long, and usage data.

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

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment/review, 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.

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.

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.
