Our website address is: https://ryconinc.com.
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.
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 are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They help the site work properly, remember your preferences, and—where you allow it—help us understand how the site is used. Some cookies are essential; others only run if you agree to them.
When you first visit our site, a consent banner appears at the bottom of the screen. You can Accept All, Reject All, or open per-category preferences to choose exactly which types of cookies you allow. Until you make a choice, nothing non-essential runs—third-party scripts are prevented from loading, and any blocked videos or embeds are replaced with a consent placeholder until you agree.
Your choice is saved in a first-party cookie named breakdance_consent for 12 months. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the floating cookie-settings button in the bottom-right corner of every page.
We keep a record of each consent action on our server so we can demonstrate that consent was given. Each record includes a hashed version of your IP address (never stored in plain text), the categories you chose, the policy version, your region, and a timestamp. These records are automatically deleted after 12 months.
Our default approach is opt-in (GDPR-style): non-essential cookies do not run until you actively agree to them. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we honor it automatically and opt you out of all non-essential cookies without any action needed on your part. This also satisfies opt-out rights under laws such as the CCPA.

The cookie list above was last updated on July 10, 2026.
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.
To protect your privacy, embedded videos and similar third-party content are blocked until you consent to the relevant cookie category. Until then, a consent placeholder is shown in place of the embed.
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
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 (if any), 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.
Consent records are retained for 12 months and then automatically purged.
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.
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
