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.

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

At The Recycled Place, we take your privacy seriously and do not sell or share your personal information with third parties, except in the following cases:

1. Legal Obligations: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or government agency).
2. Business Transfers: In the event of a business transaction such as a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your personal information may be transferred as part of that process. Any new entity will adhere to the same privacy practices outlined here or provide notice of any changes.
3. Service Providers: To operate The Recycled Place effectively, we may share your information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us with website hosting, payment processing, or email communication. These partners are obligated to protect your data and use it solely for the services they provide.

We are committed to transparency regarding how your data is used and will update this policy if there are any changes to our data-sharing practices.

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 your data is sent

At The Recycled Place, your data is securely processed and, when necessary, shared with trusted third parties to ensure a seamless experience. These may include:

1. Payment Processors: If you make a purchase, your payment details may be shared with secure payment gateways to process the transaction.
2. Analytics Providers: To improve our website’s performance and user experience, we may use third-party analytics tools. These providers help us understand visitor activity without identifying individuals.
3. Service Providers: We may send data to third-party service providers who help with website functionality, email services, or order fulfillment. These partners are committed to protecting your information and only use it to provide the services requested.

Your data is never sold or shared with other entities for marketing purposes unless explicitly noted in this policy.
