What Personal Data We Collect and Why

Comments

When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent to help spam detection. An anonymized string (hash) of your email may be sent to Gravatar to check if you use it. After approval, your profile image is visible next to your comment.

Media

If you upload images, avoid uploading images with embedded EXIF GPS data—visitors can download and extract location data from images on the site.

Contact Forms & Scheduling

When you submit contact or booking forms, we collect your name, email, phone (optional), preferred time, and message so we can respond and schedule services. We retain submissions for customer service and recordkeeping.

Account & Orders (if applicable)

If you create an account or place an order, we process your name, email, billing details, and order history to deliver services, issue invoices/receipts, and provide support.

Payments (if applicable)

Payments are processed by third-party providers (e.g., Stripe/PayPal). We do not store full card numbers on our servers.

Analytics & Performance

We use analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics / Tag Manager) to understand site usage. These tools use cookies and similar technologies to collect aggregated traffic data.

Embedded Content

Articles may include embedded content (videos, images, posts). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you visited those sites and may collect data, use cookies, and track interactions.

Cookies

• Comment convenience cookies: store your details for up to 1 year.
• Login cookies: temporary cookie on login page; login cookies last up to 2 days; display preferences up to 1 year; “Remember Me” keeps login for 2 weeks; logging out removes login cookies.
• Editor cookie: if you edit/publish, a cookie with the post ID may be set (expires after 1 day).
• Analytics cookies: measure site usage and improve performance.

You can manage cookies in your browser settings.

Who We Share Your Data With

We share data with service providers (hosting, email, analytics, payments, scheduling) solely to operate our site and services, under confidentiality obligations. Security/anti‑spam services may also process data. If you request a password reset, your IP may be included in the reset email. We may disclose data to comply with law or protect rights and safety.

How Long We Retain Your Data

• Comments: retained indefinitely (including metadata).
• Accounts: stored while active; users can view/edit/delete their information (except username).
• Forms/Bookings: typically up to 24 months, unless law requires longer.
• Orders: retained per tax/accounting laws (usually 7 years).
• Analytics: per provider retention settings.

Your Rights

You may request access, correction, deletion, restriction/objection, or portability of your personal data, and withdraw consent where applicable. To exercise rights, email [email protected]. We may verify your identity first.

Where Your Data Is Processed / Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through automated spam detection. Some providers may process data in other countries; we take steps to ensure appropriate protections for cross‑border transfers.

Data Security

We use appropriate technical and organizational measures (e.g., HTTPS, access controls). No method is 100% secure; we continually improve safeguards.

Children’s Privacy

Our services are intended for individuals 16+. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided data, contact us to delete it.
