Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymised string created from your email address (often called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see 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 is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
• Comment Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.
• Login Cookies
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.
• Editor Cookies
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if the visitor has visited the other website directly.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website. We do not control the data these third-party websites collect.
Contact Forms
If you submit a contact form on our website, we collect the information you provide (such as your name, email address, and message). We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not use it for marketing purposes unless you have expressly opted in to receive such communications. We may retain contact form submissions for a certain period for customer service purposes, but we do not share the information submitted through contact forms with third parties for marketing or other unrelated purposes.
Who We Share Your Data With
• Service Providers
We may share information with third-party service providers who help us operate our website, manage bookings (e.g., Airbnb, VRBO), or provide other essential services. These providers are obligated to protect your information and only use it for the services we request.
• Comments
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security purposes.
We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties under any circumstances.
How Long We Retain Your Data
• Comments:
When you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
• Registered Users:
For users that 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 for their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
• Contact Form Submissions:
We may retain your information for as long as needed to provide customer service or fulfill the purposes for which you initially provided it.
What Rights You Have 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. 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. Additionally, if you use third-party booking platforms, your data may be processed by those platforms according to their own privacy policies.
Security Measures
We take reasonable technical and organisational precautions to protect your personal data from loss, misuse, or unauthorised access. However, no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You share and transmit information at your own risk.
Children’s Privacy
Our website is not intended for children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16 without parental consent. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us so we can remove it.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. By continuing to use our site after any changes, you acknowledge acceptance of the modified Policy.
