Who We Are

Welcome to SC Motors (scmotors.lk).

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string for spam detection purposes.

An anonymized string generated from your email address (a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to identify if you use it. For more information, refer to the Gravatar service privacy policy at Gravatar Privacy Policy. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

Please refrain from uploading images embedded with location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors 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 save your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies will last for one year, eliminating the need to fill in your details repeatedly.

When accessing our login page, a temporary cookie is set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded upon browser closure.

Upon logging in, several cookies are set to retain your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen options cookies last for a year. Selecting “Remember Me” will persist your login for two weeks. Logging out will remove the login cookies.

When editing or publishing an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser, containing no personal data and expiring after 1 day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles may contain embedded content (e.g., videos, images) behaving similarly to if the visitor visited the other website directly. These websites may collect data, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor interaction with the embedded content.

Who We Share Your Data With

If a password reset is requested, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

Data Retention

Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely to automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments, instead of holding them in a moderation queue. For registered users, their provided personal information is stored in their user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their information, excluding username changes. Website administrators can access and modify this information.

Your Data Rights

If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of your provided personal data or request erasure of your data, excluding data obligatory for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Data Processing

Visitor comments may undergo automated spam detection checks.
