Who we are

We’re The Flamingo Project, a strategy and research consultancy supporting leaders in the A/E/C industry. Our website address is: https://theflamingoproject.com.

Comments

When you leave comments on our site, we collect the data you enter in the comments form, along with your IP address and browser user agent. This helps us detect spam.

If you use Gravatar, an anonymized string (or hash) of your email may be sent to that service to check if your profile is linked. You can review Gravatar’s privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy. Once your comment is approved, your profile image may appear publicly next to your comment.

Media

If you upload images to our website, please avoid including location data (EXIF GPS), since other visitors may download and extract that information from the image files.

Cookies

We may use cookies to enhance your experience. Here’s how:

  • If you comment on a post, you can opt-in to saving your name, email, and website. These cookies last for one year.

  • If you visit our login page, we use a temporary cookie to check your browser’s cookie acceptance. It’s deleted when you close your browser.

  • When you log in, we use cookies to remember your login and display preferences:

    • Login cookies last two days (or two weeks if you choose “Remember Me”).

    • Display settings for cookies remain in effect for one year.

  • If you edit or publish content, we store a cookie with the post ID—it expires after one day.

You can control cookies through your browser settings.

Embedded content from other websites

Pages and posts on our site may include embedded content (like LinkedIn Live events, YouTube videos, or Instagram posts). These behave just as if you visited the original site:

  • These third-party sites may collect your data, use cookies, or track your interactions, especially if you’re logged in to their services.

  • We recommend checking their respective privacy policies to learn more.

How we use and share your data

We do not sell your data. However, we may share information in specific cases:

  • If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email.

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

  • In the event we host a live event, webinar, or collect RSVPs (e.g., for LinkedIn Live), we may use a third-party registration service or analytics tools to track engagement.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, it and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This helps us automatically approve follow-ups without moderation.

For users who register (if applicable), we store the personal details in your user profile. You can view, update, or delete your personal information—except for your username. Admins can also access and edit this data.

What rights you have over your data

You may request an exported file of your personal data, including any information you’ve provided. You can also request that we delete your data. This excludes any data we’re legally or administratively required to keep.

Where your data goes

Data such as comments may be processed through automated services for spam filtering. For event participation, data may also be processed via secure third-party platforms for analytics and communications.
