Who we are
Our website address is: https://sizzle-sass.com.
This policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information when you visit or interact with our site.
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 (also called a hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you use it. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. 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, avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract location data from images on the site.
Cookies
Comment Cookies: If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. These last one year.
Login Cookies: When you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies; it’s discarded when you close your browser. If you log in, we set up cookies to save your login info and screen display preferences. Login cookies last two days; screen options cookies last a year. Selecting “Remember Me” keeps you logged in for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.
Post-Edit Cookie: If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is saved in your browser. It contains no personal data, simply the post ID, and expires after one day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other sites behaves as though you visited those external websites directly. These sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their content, including tracking if you’re logged in to that external website.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address is included in the reset email. Beyond that, we don’t share your data with third parties unless required for site functionality (e.g., spam detection services) or by law.
How long we retain your data
Comments: If you leave a comment, both the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This lets us recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
Registered Users: For users who register on our site, we store any personal information provided in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for username changes). Site 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 an exported file of the personal data we hold about you (including data you provided). You can also ask us to erase any personal data we hold about you. However, this doesn’t include any data we must keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. If required by hosting or analytics services, relevant data may be processed off-site, but always with the intent to maintain your privacy and comply with legal requirements.
Additional Information
How we protect your data: We use reasonable security measures, like SSL encryption and password-protected databases, to prevent unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure of your personal information.
What data breach procedures we have in place: In the event of a data breach, we have internal review processes and would inform affected users if their personal information is compromised.
Third-Party Links: Our site may link to other websites. We’re not responsible for their privacy practices; please review their policies if you navigate away from our site.
