Privacy Policy – Parched Phoenix
Who We Are
Our website address is: https://parchedphoenix.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 with spam detection.
An anonymised string (also called a hash) created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you use it. You can read the Gravatar service privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture (if applicable) will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to our website, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract location data from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so you don’t have to re-enter your details each time you leave a comment. These cookies last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This contains no personal data and is removed when you close your browser.
When you log in, we 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. When you log out, the login cookies are removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This contains no personal data and simply records the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.
Contact Forms
When you submit a contact form on our website, we collect the information you provide (such as your name, email address, phone number, and event details) so we can respond to your enquiry and provide a personalised quote.
We keep contact form submissions for as long as necessary to respond to your enquiry or manage your booking. We do not use the information submitted through contact forms for marketing purposes unless you have explicitly opted in, and we never share your details with third parties unless required to deliver our service.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Pages and articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in exactly the same way as if you had visited those websites directly.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content — including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to 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
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are kept indefinitely so we can automatically approve follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also view 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 the personal data we hold about you — including any data you’ve provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. 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.
