Privacy Policy

Who I Am

My website address is: https://daltonsweet.com.

Comments

When visitors leave comments, I collect the information shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam. An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you use it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture (if set) is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the site, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract location data from images posted here.

Cookies

If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience, so you do not need to re-enter your details for future comments. These cookies last for one year. If you visit the login page, I set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is removed when you close your browser. When you log in, cookies are set to save your login information and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen option cookies last for one year. Selecting “Remember Me” keeps your login active for two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies. If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Posts on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves the same way as if you visited those websites directly. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that site.

Who I Share Your Data With

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

How Long I Retain Your Data

Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely so I can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically. For registered users (if any), I store the personal information they provide in their profile. Users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except the username). I can also view and edit that information as the site administrator.

Your Data Rights

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data I hold about you, including any data you’ve provided. You can also request that I delete any personal data I hold about you. This does not include data I am required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data is Sent

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