What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Comments When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also 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.
Contact forms When you submit a contact form, we collect your name, email, and the message provided. We retain these submissions for ministry service purposes for a period of 6 months. Unless you opt in to our newsletter, we do not use the information submitted through these forms for mass-mailing purposes.
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 you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you have an account and you log in to this site, 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 your 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. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
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 1 day.
Embedded content from other websites Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. 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 with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Marketing and Visitor Tracking (Brevo) We use Brevo to manage our email communications and to understand how visitors interact with our website. When you sign up for our newsletter or interact with our site, Brevo may collect data such as your IP address, pages visited, and form submission details. This data is used to provide you with relevant information and to improve our website experience. Brevo uses cookies to track these interactions; you can control or disable these cookies through your browser settings. You can review Brevo’s privacy policy at https://www.brevo.com/legal/privacypolicy/.
Analytics We use standard analytics tools to track traffic to our site. This tool collects anonymized data about your visit, such as your IP address, pages visited, and time spent on our site, to help us improve our content.
Who we share your data with We do not sell your personal data. We use Cloudflare to provide security and performance services for this website, which may process some visitor traffic data in accordance with their privacy policy.
How long we retain your data If you leave a comment, 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. For users that register on our website (if any), we also 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.
What rights you have over your data If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where we send your data Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Your contact information If you have any privacy-specific concerns or data requests, please contact our site administrator at: info@wholeness-service.org
