When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, the visitor’s IP address, and browser user agent string to assist in spam detection. This ensures the integrity of the discussions on our platform.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website 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 saving your name and email address 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.

We use analytical cookies to understand how our audience interacts with our investigative reports, allowing our editorial desk to refine its output for maximum impact.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, energy market tickers, or data charts). 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, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content.

Who we share your data with

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. Beyond essential security and administrative functions, Energy Focus Africa does not sell or trade your personal intelligence with third parties.

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.

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.

Where your data is sent
