At Mercy Inspired Kingdom Services (MIKS) academy, accessible via www.mikschools.org, we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information when you visit our website or interact with our services.

Who We Are

We are MIKS, a refugee educational institution offering primary, secondary, and vocational training programs. Our official website is www.mikschools.org.

Comments

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

An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. Gravatar’s privacy policy is available here. After your comment is approved, your profile picture may be visible publicly next to your comment.

Media

If you upload images to our website (e.g., in comment forms or student submission areas), you should avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website may be able to download and extract location information from such images.

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 you don’t have to re-enter your details for future comments. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we’ll set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.

When you log in, we’ll also set up cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences:

  • Login cookies last for two days.
  • If you select “Remember Me”, your login persists for two weeks.
  • Screen settings cookies last for a year.
  • When you log out, login cookies are removed.

If you edit or publish content (e.g., a post), a cookie will be saved in your browser. It contains no personal data and simply records the post ID of the edited article. It expires in 1 day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles and blog posts on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, presentations). Embedded content behaves in the same way as if the visitor has visited the source website directly.

These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interaction with the embedded content, especially if you are logged into that website.

Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security purposes.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically.

For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their information at any time—except for their username. Website administrators can also access and edit this information.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you’ve provided. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include data we are obliged to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
