What data do we collect?
As a principle, we attempt to collect only the least user data necessary to provide and improve our services and to guarantee their security and integrity. We may collect the following personal data:
- IP addresses
- Email addresses
How do we collect your data?
You directly provide us the data we collect. We may collect data when you:
- Visit and view the website with web browser, or connect to the host server by other means.
- Voluntarily send email to any of the email addresses associated with the domain turningpointmag.org.
- Perform activities that are flagged potentially malicious by one of the security checks in place to protect the integrity of our services. Potentially malicious activity includes, but is not limited to, unordinary large amount of requests from your ip address, ip proximity to or affiliation with malicious or infected networks, log in attempt to the website frontend, or other attempts to access unauthorized parts of the host server.
Legal basis of processing your data
The lawfulness of processing your data, specifically in the sense of GDPR Article 6, depends on the data collected and the context of collection.
When sending email to one of the email addresses associated with turningpointmag.org domain, you automatically give consent to process and store the information contained in your email, including your email address. Processing email data may also be necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject (you) is party, or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject (you) prior to entering into a contract. Depending on the nature and content of the email correspondence, we may also have a legal obligation to process and store it.
The lawfulness of collecting and processing ip addresses is based on necessity in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person, or on purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller (Turning Point) or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by data subject’s (your) interests or fundamental rights and freedoms.
You may, at any time, request what is the legal basis of processing your data. You may also, at any time, withdraw your consent, and, if consent is the only applicable legal basis, it will lead to halting processing your data.
How will we use your data?
We may collect your data so that we can offer our services and ensure their security and integrity, and to fulfill our contractual and legal obligations. In particular,
IP addresses may be collected and stored
- to monitor the website traffic for malicious activity (such as unauthorized login attempts),
- to protect the functionality of our services from harmful activity (such as denial of service attacks), and
- to produce performance and traffic statistics (such as to produce statistics of monthly unique users).
The IP address of visitors, user ID of logged in users, and username of login attempts are conditionally logged to check for malicious activity and to protect the site from specific kinds of attacks. Examples of conditions when logging occurs include login attempts, log out requests, requests for suspicious URLs, changes to site content, and password updates.
Email addresses, contents and other relevant data may be collected and stored
- to maintain correspondence with you,
- to perform a contract with you, or take steps in order to enter contractual relationship, or
- to fulfil our legal obligations.
How do we store your data?
We store your data securely at servers in European Union/EEA territory. Processing your data does not constitute international data transfer as defined by GDPR.
More specifically,
Data related to the use of the website, including potentially your IP address, is stored at Hostinger International ltd servers. You can read more how this data is protected at Honstinger’s website (external link).
Data related to email communications, including potentially your email address and correspondence with us, is stored at Zoho Corporation B.V. (The Netherlands) servers. You can read more how this data is protected at Zoho’s website (external link).
This website is part of a network of websites that protect against distributed brute force attacks. To enable this protection, the IP address of visitors attempting to log into the site is shared with a service provided by solidwp.com. For policy details, please see the SolidWP Privacy Policy.
If flagged and collected, we will keep your ip address for 60 days in the security log. Once this time period has expired, we will automatically delete your data by deleting the associated database entries.
Email correspondence will be generally stored for maximum 2 years, unless there is a legal obligation to store them for longer time in which case the legally obliged duration will be followed.
