Who We Are
Our website address is: https://blissfulweddinz.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect any personal information gathered from visitors and users of our site.
What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It
We collect different types of information to provide and improve our services, including:
- Cookies: We use cookies to store information such as login credentials and user display preferences. This helps enhance user experience by allowing quick logins and preserving settings.
- Comments: When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent. This data is used for spam detection.
- Media Uploads: If you upload images, we recommend avoiding images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as other visitors can download and view this data.
Detailed Information on Collected Data
- Comments
When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent to help with spam detection. An anonymized string generated 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 will be visible to the public in the context of your comment. - Media
If you upload images to our site, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS) in the images. Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images. - Cookies
- Comment Cookies: If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to save your name, email, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience, so you don’t have to re-enter your details for future comments. These cookies will last for one year.
- Login Cookies: When you log in, we set temporary cookies to determine if your browser accepts cookies and to store login information. Login cookies last for two days, while screen display cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Upon logging out, these cookies are removed.
- Content Editing Cookies: If you edit or publish content, an additional cookie is stored in your browser, containing no personal data and simply indicating the post ID of the article. This cookie expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Our site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles) from other websites. Embedded content from external sites behaves in the same way as if the visitor has directly visited the other website. These websites may collect data, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you are logged into those external websites.
Who We Share Your Data With
We do not share personal data with third parties, except as required for specific features or services, such as:
- Password Resets: If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
- Spam Detection Services: Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically rather than holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our site, we store the personal information provided in their user profiles. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for their username. Website administrators can also view and edit that information.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on our 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 to us. You may also request that we erase any personal data we hold. This does not include 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 to help with spam prevention.
Security Measures
We implement security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure of your personal data. These measures include secure data storage and regular security audits to ensure data protection.
Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Any significant changes will be posted on this page, and if the changes are substantial, we may provide a more prominent notice or notify you by email (if we have your email address). We encourage you to review this policy regularly for the latest information on our privacy practices.
