Information Collection and Use:

  • Comments and Forms: When visitors leave comments on the site or fill out forms (such as booking or contact forms), we collect the data provided in the form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection and for security purposes.
  • Media: If visitors upload images to the website, we advise against including embedded location data (EXIF GPS) as other visitors can extract this information.

Cookies:

  • Commenting: If visitors leave a comment on our site, they may opt-in to saving their name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for convenience so that they do not have to fill in their details again when they leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
  • Login: When visitors log in to the site, we use cookies to save their login information and their screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If “Remember Me” is selected, login will persist for two weeks. If visitors log out, login cookies will be removed.

Embedded Content:

  • Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

Data Sharing:

  • Password Resets: If visitors request a password reset, their IP address will be included in the reset email.

Data Retention:

  • Comments: When visitors leave comments, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
  • User Profiles: For users who register on our website (if any), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Visitor Rights:

  • Visitors who have an account on the site or have left comments can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about them, including any data they have provided to us. They can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about them. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Automated Spam Detection:

  • Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Data Security:

  • We prioritize the security of visitors’ personal information and employ appropriate measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of data.
