Privacy Policy of Chocoreto

At Chocoreto, accessible from https://new.chocoreto.ca, we prioritize the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information that are collected and recorded by Chocoreto and how we use it.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, the visitor’s IP address, and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

An anonymized string (also known as a hash) may be created from your email address and provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here. After your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

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 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 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.

Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email to ensure the security of your account.

How Long We Retain Your Data

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

For users that register on our website (if any), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also view and edit that information, ensuring proper management and security of user data.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you have the right to request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. Additionally, you can 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, ensuring compliance with regulations and the protection of our community.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service to prevent unwanted or harmful content. This process helps maintain the safety and integrity of our site, ensuring a positive experience for all users.
