Who We Are
Our website address is: https://freshlygrounds.com.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help us detect and prevent spam.
An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. You can view the Gravatar privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible next to your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Other visitors can download and extract this location data from images published on the site.
Cookies
If you leave a comment, 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 the next time you comment. These cookies will last for one year.
When you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is removed when you close your browser.
When you log in, we set up cookies to store 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 remain active for two weeks. Logging out of your account will remove these cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie does not contain personal data—it simply records the post ID of the article you edited and expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you visited those websites directly.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that content—including tracking your interactions if you have an account and are logged in to that site.
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, both the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically, instead of holding them in moderation.
For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profiles. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also access and edit that information.
Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of your personal data, including any information you’ve provided. You can also request that we delete any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be screened through an automated spam detection service.
