Who we are
Our website address is: https://livelovedigitalworks.com. We are committed to protecting your personal data and being transparent about how we use 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 created from your email address (a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. 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) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images hosted on the site.
Cookies
Comments: If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience so you don’t have to fill in your details again. These cookies last for one year.
Login: If you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
Persistent Login: When you log in, we set up cookies to save your login info and screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login persists for two weeks.
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 exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website directly. These sites may collect data about you, use cookies, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content.
Who we share your data with
We do not sell your personal data to third parties. However, if you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security purposes. Additionally, some data may be shared with essential service providers (like our email host or website security plugins) to ensure the site functions correctly.
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 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. If you use a contact form or sign up for a newsletter, that information may be processed through our secure hosting and email service providers.
