Privacy Policy- Playful Paths
Who We Are
Our website address is: https://www.playfulpaths.co.uk/
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the information provided in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser details. This helps us detect and prevent spam.
If you use the Gravatar service, an anonymised version of your email address (a “hash”) may be shared with them to check if you have a profile. You can read Gravatar’s Privacy Policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if you have one) will be visible alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to our website, please avoid including embedded location data (such as EXIF GPS). Other visitors may be able to download and extract location data from those images.
Cookies
When you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to see if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie doesn’t contain any personal data and disappears when you close your browser.
If you log in, we use cookies to remember your login details and screen display preferences:
- Login cookies last for two days (or two weeks if you select “Remember Me”)
- Screen preference cookies last for one year
- Logging out will remove login cookies
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Some pages on our site may include embedded content (such as videos, images or articles). These behave just like you’re visiting the external website directly.
Such sites may collect data about you, use cookies, and track how you interact with their content, especially if you’re logged into their platform.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email to help confirm your identity.
How Long We Keep Your Data
If you leave a comment, it (and its associated data) is stored indefinitely. This allows us to automatically approve future comments without manual moderation.
If you create an account, we store the personal information you provide in your profile. You can view, edit or delete your data at any time — except for your username, which can’t be changed. Website administrators also have access to this information.
Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account or have left comments, you can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. You can also ask us to delete any data we hold, unless we are required to keep it for legal, administrative, or security reasons.
Where Your Data is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked by an automated spam detection service to keep our website secure and friendly for all users.
