Who We Are
Our website address is: https://www.loischloe.com.au. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal information is handled in a safe and responsible manner. This privacy policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your data.
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 with spam detection. An anonymized string (hash) generated 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 here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible publicly within the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to our website, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS) within the images. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
When you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to save your name, email, and website in cookies, for your convenience, so you don’t need to fill in your details again for future comments. These cookies last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
Upon login, we set up several cookies to save your login details and display preferences. Login cookies last two days, and screen options cookies last a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Upon logging out, login cookies are removed.
When editing or publishing an article, an additional cookie is stored in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and indicates the post ID of the article you edited, expiring after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Our site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles) from other websites, which behave as if the visitor had visited those sites. These sites may collect data, use cookies, and employ additional tracking, including monitoring your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged into that 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
Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely for us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically rather than holding them in a moderation queue. For users registered on our website, we store the personal information provided in their user profiles. Registered users can view, edit, or delete their personal information (except for their username). Website administrators can also view and edit this 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. You may also request the deletion of any personal data we hold about you, excluding data we must retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where Your Data is Sent
Visitor comments may be reviewed through an automated spam detection service to ensure quality and security on our website.
