This lawyery stuff page is for the website address: https://graylenmarie.com.
Comments
When people leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also their IP address and browser to make sure they are actually real people and to help spam detection.
An anonymized name created from the person’s email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if they are using that. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After manual human approval of your comment, the profile picture is made visible in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload pictures to this website, you can avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Know that any other visitors to our website can download and extract any location data from images on the website. If you took a picture with your phone, it’s got all kinds of identifying info in it. Plenty of people on YouTube can show you how to take that out.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. I LOVE real cookies! But computery ones don’t taste very good to me. These are really for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year, then they’re too stale for anybody to enjoy.
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. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect more data about you, use their own cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website. If we could turn that stuff off, we would, but then stuff breaks, so there you go.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. This is again to help reduce spam.
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 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 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 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. I don’t think I’ll ever like to learn the taste of spam. Yuck!
