1. 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 anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture may be visible to the public in the context of your comment.

2. Media

If you upload images to the website, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract location data from images on the website.

3. Cookies

• If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so you don’t have to re-enter them when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.

• If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will be set 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 set up cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies for one year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login persists for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.

• If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser, containing no personal data—just the post ID of the article. It expires after one day.

4. Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on Coasteer may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles). Embedded content behaves the same way as if you visited the original website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that content—including if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

5. Who We Share Your Data With

6. How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically, rather than holding them in a moderation queue.

For registered users (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 the username). Website administrators can also view and edit that information.

7. What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account on Coasteer, or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you provided. You may also request that we erase your personal data. This does not include data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
