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 detect spam.
An anonymised string (hash) created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
After approval of your comment, your profile picture (if applicable) is visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website may download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so you don’t have to re-enter your details when leaving another comment. These cookies will 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 set up several cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences.
- Login cookies last for two days
- Screen options cookies last for one year
- If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks
When you log out, login cookies are removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (for example, videos, images, or articles).
Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you had visited those websites directly.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content — including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
We may also share data with trusted third-party providers (such as website hosting or spam detection services) to operate and maintain this website securely. These providers are required to handle your data in accordance with data protection laws.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This helps us recognize and automatically approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website (if applicable), we 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 an exported file of the personal data we hold about you — including any data you’ve 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 required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
To make such a request, please contact us at info@kissmyhairypaws.co.uk
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Some data may be processed or stored outside of the UK or EU, but only by providers that comply with GDPR or recognised adequacy frameworks.
