Introduction
Welcome to Gardeny Recipes! Your privacy is important to us. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit our website, https://www.gardenyrecipes.com.
Information We Collect
Personal Information
When you visit our site, we may collect personal information that you provide voluntarily, such as:
- Name
- Email address
- Comments
Non-Personal Information
We may also collect non-personal information automatically, including:
- IP address
- Browser type
- Referring website
- Pages visited
- Time spent on the site
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here. After your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, please avoid including images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience, so you don’t have to re-enter your details when leaving another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we’ll set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we’ll also set up cookies to save your login information and screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, while screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out removes the login 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 just edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if the visitor has visited the other website directly. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with embedded content, including tracking if you have an account and are logged into that website.
How We Use Your Information
We may use your information for various purposes, including:
- To improve our website and services
- To respond to your comments and inquiries
- To send you newsletters and promotional content (if you opt-in)
- To monitor the usage of our website
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to outside parties without your consent, except as required by law.
Data Retention
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. For users that register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for changing their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
Your Data Rights
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’ve provided. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are 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.
