Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains what personal data we collect, how it’s used, and your rights related to that information.

Who We Are

Our website address is: https://simplefiftytwo.com.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.

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. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.

After approval of your comment, 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 site can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience, so you don’t have to re-enter them next time. These cookies 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 several cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen option cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if the visitor had visited the other website.

These external sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their content, including tracking if you have an account and are logged in on that external website.

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 to help automatically approve future comments instead of holding them in moderation.

For registered users, we store the personal information provided in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except their username). Website administrators can also access and edit this information.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided. You can also request that we delete any personal data we hold, except data we must keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
