Who we are

Our website address is: theavalonfaery.co.uk

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site the website collects 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 the visitor’s email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if it is being used. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.

After approval of the visitor’s comment, the visitor’s profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If visitor’s upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. It is possible that any visitors to the website could download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

If a visitor leaves a comment on the site they may opt-in to saving their name, email address and website in cookies. These are for convenience so that the visitor does not have to fill in their details again when leaving any additional comments. These cookies last for one year.

If visiting the login page, the website will set a temporary cookie to determine if the visitor’s browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when the visitor close their browser.

Upon log in, the website will also set up several cookies to save login information and screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one year. If “Remember Me” is selected, the login will last for two weeks. Upon log out of the account, the login cookies will be removed.

Embedded content from other websites

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 the visitor, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor the visitor’s interaction with that embedded content, including tracking interaction with the embedded content if the visitor has an account and is logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

If a password reset is requested then the IP address will be included in the reset email.

How long we retain your data

If leaving a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so the website can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on the website, the website also stores the personal information provided 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.

What rights you have over your data

If the visitor holds an account on this site, or has made any comments, the visitor can request to receive an exported file of the personal data the website holds about the visitor. The visitor can also request the erasing of any personal data we held about them. This does not include any data the website is obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where your data is sent

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