Privacy Policy

We greatly value your privacy and only use your data when necessary to improve user experience on our website and to enhance our products and services for your benefit.

By continuing to use our website, you consent to our use of your data. Please read our terms and conditions, and see how we process your returns and refunds.

Third-party sharing

Be assured that we do not sell or share any information about your data with unauthorized third parties unless necessary to provide our services (such as payment processors). Any third parties involved will also be required to protect your data.

Data usage & retention

We understand the importance of data retention, especially for automated recognition and approval of follow-up comments. Therefore, our privacy policy dictates that all comments and associated metadata are retained indefinitely. We want to assure you that we do not store any personal information about users who have not registered on our website.

For registered users, we store the personal information provided in their user profiles. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Website administrators also have access to view and edit this information. Additionally, when a password reset is requested, the IP address will be included in the reset email.

Data security

Our website is hosted on secure servers protected by stringent security measures. We take every necessary precaution within our power to ensure the security of your data. Your comments and actions on our website may be scrutinized through an automated spam detection service.

Data access rights

You have the right to access, update, or delete your personal information at any time. If you have an account on our site or have left comments, you can request the deletion of any personal data we hold about you. This excludes any data we are obligated to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Media privacy policy

Please exercise caution when uploading images to our website, as embedded location data (EXIF GPS) may disclose the exact location where the image was taken, compromising the privacy of both the photographer and subjects. Visitors to our website can easily download and extract any location data from images. To safeguard your privacy, we recommend removing embedded location data before uploading images.

Cookies policy

We utilize cookies to enhance user experience. If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, or other information in cookies, which last for a few weeks. These cookies are set for your convenience, eliminating the need to re-enter your details when leaving another comment.

On our login page, we set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. Upon logging in, we set up several cookies to save your login information. Login cookies last for two days, and if you select “Remember me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logout removes login cookies. You may opt out at any time.

Comments policy

Our comments privacy policy aims to protect our customers. We value visitor opinions and feedback, collecting data from the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to aid in spam detection. To determine if the Gravatar service is used, we utilize an anonymized string created from the email address (also known as a hash). If a comment is approved, the profile picture will be visible to the public in the context of the comment.

Embedded content

To enhance user experience, we may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles) from other websites. However, it should be noted that embedded content behaves similarly to visiting the other website directly. Our website may collect data, utilize cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor interaction with embedded content, including tracking interaction for logged-in users.

We strive to provide the highest quality products and services. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our customer support team for assistance.
