Who we are
We are: https://churchchronicler.com.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the Website, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy. After approval of your comment, your profile picture, if available, is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
The Website may allow you to upload and share media content. Please be aware that we do not claim ownership of any media content uploaded to the Website. If you upload media content, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included, as visitors to the Website can download and extract any location data from images on the Website.
Cookies
The Website uses cookies to enhance your browsing experience. These are small text files stored on your device that help us analyze website traffic, remember your preferences, and improve the Website’s functionality. You have the option to disable cookies through your browser settings; however, some features of the Website may not function properly without cookies.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on the Website may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.) from other websites. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way 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. We have no control over the privacy practices of these third-party websites and recommend reviewing their respective privacy policies.
Who we share your data with
We do not share your personal information with third parties unless required by law or with your consent. However, we may share non-personally identifiable information or aggregated data with trusted third-party service providers to analyze website usage, improve our services, or for other legitimate purposes.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. For users who register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide 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 you have an account on the Website or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are 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. Other than that, we do not transfer your personal information to any other country or jurisdiction.
