Who We Are
Mirage Equities LLC operates the website at https://mirageequities.com. We are a holding company based at 30 N Gould St #10725, Sheridan, WY 82801, USA. For privacy-related inquiries, please contact us at privacy@mirageequities.com or by mail.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form (e.g., name, email address), as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string, to help detect spam. This processing is based on our legitimate interest in maintaining a spam-free platform.
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.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included, as visitors can download and extract any location data from images on the website. Mirage Equities LLC does not process or store EXIF data, but we recommend removing such metadata before uploading. Uploaded media may be visible to other users but is not shared with third parties unless specified.
Cookies
We use cookies to enhance your experience on our site. If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience, so you don’t have to fill in your details again for future comments. These cookies last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we 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 set cookies to save your login information (lasting 2 days, or 2 weeks if you select ‘Remember Me’) and screen display choices (lasting 1 year). Logging out removes these cookies. If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie (indicating the post ID, expiring after 1 day) is saved, containing no personal data.
We may use analytics cookies (e.g., Google Analytics) to track site usage and improve performance. These cookies may collect anonymized data about your browsing behavior. You can manage cookie preferences via our cookie consent banner, displayed on your first visit, as required by applicable laws.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos from YouTube, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you have visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website. For example, YouTube’s privacy policy is available at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
Who We Share Your Data With
We may share your data with third-party service providers to operate our website and services, such as hosting providers (e.g., SiteGround), analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics), and spam detection services (e.g., Akismet). If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. We may also share data as required by law or to comply with legal processes, such as responding to requests from authorities. We do not sell or share your personal data for marketing purposes.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. For users who register on our website (if any), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information. IP addresses and browser data collected for spam detection are retained for 30 days, then deleted. Analytics data (e.g., Google Analytics) is retained for up to 26 months, per their default settings. If you close your account, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except for data we must retain for legal, administrative, or security purposes.
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, subject to exceptions for data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes. Additionally, you have the right to object to or restrict certain types of data processing, and, if applicable, opt out of any data sales (though we do not sell your data). To exercise these rights, please contact us at privacy@mirageequities.com. We will respond to requests within 30 days, or as required by law.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service, such as Akismet, which may transfer data to servers in the United States. Other data, such as analytics data (e.g., Google Analytics) or hosting data (e.g., SiteGround), may also be transferred to servers outside your jurisdiction. We ensure that any international data transfers comply with applicable laws, such as using Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers to the United States or other regions without an adequacy decision under GDPR.
Security Measures
We take the security of your data seriously and implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect it, such as SSL encryption, secure hosting, and access controls. However, no online system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data.
Children’s Privacy
Our website is not intended for children under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we learn that we have collected data from a child under 16 without parental consent, we will delete it promptly. If you believe we have such data, please contact us at privacy@mirageequities.com.
Changes to the Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will notify you of significant updates by posting the revised policy on our website with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
Effective Date
This Privacy Policy is effective as of January 1, 2025.
