What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It

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 (also called a hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine if you are using it. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. 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 uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images on the site.

Contact Forms
When you submit a contact form on our website, we collect the information you provide, such as your name, phone number, email address, physical address and the content of your message. This information is used solely for the purpose of responding to your inquiries and providing customer support.

We do not use information submitted through contact forms for marketing purposes without your explicit consent. Submitted data may be retained for a certain period to facilitate follow-up communication but will not be shared with third parties.

Cookies
We use cookies to enhance your navigation experience and support essential site functions. Detailed information about each cookie type is provided under the respective consent categories in the cookies tab at the bottom left section of our webpages.

Cookies classified as “Necessary” are stored in your browser to ensure the site’s core functionalities operate seamlessly.

Additionally, we utilize third-party cookies to analyze website usage, save your preferences, and deliver personalized content and advertisements. These cookies are only stored with your explicit consent.

You can manage your cookie preferences, enabling or disabling specific categories. However, please note that disabling certain cookies may impact your browsing experience.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Webpages and/or articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you are logged into that website.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them for moderation.

For users who register on our website (if applicable), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profiles. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except their username, which cannot be changed). Website administrators can also see and edit this information.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you, except for data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where We Send Your Data

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

While conducted via our social media channels, the 5 Star 2024 Christmas Giveaway will be carried out in accordance with the above Privacy Policy, therefore we wanted to add a note here. We retain personal data collected for giveaways only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. This includes verifying participant eligibility, selecting and notifying winners, distributing prizes, and addressing any disputes or claims related to the giveaway. Once these purposes are completed, the data will be securely deleted or anonymized unless a longer retention period is required by law. By limiting retention to what is strictly necessary, we aim to protect your privacy and comply with applicable data protection regulations.
