Privacy Policy
Who we are
FIYAHCON is a virtual event helmed by NSS Media, LLC and FIYAH Literary Magazine. Our website address is: https://theconvention.fiyahlitmag.com.
What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Programming Content
All regular FIYAHCON content is recorded for posterity, but will remain inaccessible to the public until and unless all participating parties in each item agree to make them available. Participants are asked to sign releases for recordings and press engagement prior to their confirmed involvement.
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.
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.
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
Information such as name and address entered at checkout may be shared with 3rd party merch providers for fulfillment only.
As a virtual convention, we rely on a number of applications and services for the hosting and recording of our content, each of which has its own Privacy Policy. You can find them below.
When signing up for additional information/opportunities through the event Vendor Gallery or “Booths” function of Airmeet, you are consenting to our sharing your email address with the vendor/exhibitor for fulfillment.
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, 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. For data removal requests or assistance with account closure, email director@theconvention.fiyahlitmag.com.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. If violations of our Community Agreement occur to such a degree as to warrant the intervention of law enforcement, we may comply with any reasonable, lawful request for records.
