Who We Are
Our website address is: https://pinardpublishing.com.
Pinard Publishing values your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information while you use our website.
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 assist in spam detection.
An anonymized string (also known as a hash) created from your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to verify if you are using it. You can view the Gravatar privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
After your comment is approved, your profile picture (if applicable) will be visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, avoid uploading files that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from uploaded images.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience. This allows you to avoid re-entering your information for future comments. These cookies will remain active for one year.
When visiting our login page, a temporary cookie will be created to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted once you close your browser.
When you log in, several cookies will be set to store your login information and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and display preference cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies automatically.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie does not store personal data and simply records the post ID of the edited article. 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 external websites behaves the same way as if you visited those websites directly.
These external sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content. This may include tracking your interaction if you are logged into an account on that external site.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email to ensure account security.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its associated metadata are stored indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and automatically approve follow-up comments instead of placing them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profiles. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal data at any time—except for their username, which cannot be changed. Website administrators can also access and edit this information when necessary.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on this website or have left comments, you may request an exported file containing the personal data we hold about you, including any information you have provided. You may also request that we delete any personal data we hold about you.
Please note that this does not include data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be reviewed through an automated spam detection service to maintain site security and integrity.
