On Jeronique.com, we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal data when you visit our website, https://jeronique.com.
By using our website, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
Information We Collect and How We Use It
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data displayed in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This helps us detect and prevent spam. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. If you are, your profile picture will appear alongside your comment after it is approved. You can view the Gravatar privacy policy here: Automattic Privacy Policy.
If you upload media, please avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors to the site may extract this data from the images.
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies last for one year. Additionally, 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 cookies to store your login details and screen preferences. These cookies will last for two days and one year, respectively. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out, these cookies are removed. When you edit or publish an article, a cookie will be saved containing no personal data, just the post ID of the article you edited.
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.), which behaves as if you visited the third-party website directly. These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interactions with embedded content, especially if you have an account and are logged into that website.
Who We Share Your Data With
We do not sell or trade your personal data. If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically. For users who register on our site (if applicable), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for their username. Website administrators can also view and edit this information.
Your Rights 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’ve provided. You may also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you, except for any data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Additionally, some of your personal data may be processed in countries outside your country of residence, including the United States, where certain third-party services may be based.
Data Security
We implement a variety of security measures to ensure the protection of your personal data. However, no method of data transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Third-Party Links
Our website may contain links to third-party websites that are not operated by us. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or actions of these third-party sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.
