Comments
When visitors leave comments on our website, we collect the data shown in the comments form, including the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This helps us detect and prevent spam on our site.
Gravatar If you leave a comment on our site, 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. After your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment. Please refer to the Gravatar service privacy policy for more information.
Media
If you upload images to our website, please make sure to avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included, as visitors can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
When you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment, and they last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
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, and it expires after one day. Visit https://www.ecolivingvibes.com/opt-out-preferences/ for more information.
Embedded content from other websites
Our articles may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.) from other websites, which 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 that embedded content.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that 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 our 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 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.
