Privacy Policy

Who we are

Our website address is: paper-gallery.co.uk

Comments

When users leave comments on our site, we gather the information they provide in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This data aids in identifying spam.

We may create an anonymized hash from your email address, which can be used to verify if you use a profile picture service. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be displayed publicly alongside your comment.

Media

If you upload images to our site, please make sure they do not include any embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Other visitors can potentially download and extract this location data from images.

Cookies

If you post a comment, you may opt to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience, so you won’t need to re-enter your details for future comments. These cookies will remain for one year.

When you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will be created to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain any personal information and is deleted once you close your browser.

Upon logging in, we will set multiple cookies to remember your login details and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while display preference cookies last for one year. If you choose the “Remember Me” option, your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out will remove the login cookies.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie does not store personal information and simply tracks the post ID of the article you just edited, expiring after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on our site may feature embedded content (like videos, images, or articles). This embedded content behaves as if the visitor has directly accessed the other site.

These external sites may collect data about you, use cookies, implement additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interactions with the embedded content, especially if you are logged into those websites.

Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the email sent for that purpose.

Data Retention Period

Comments and their metadata are kept indefinitely. This helps us recognize and automatically approve follow-up comments without needing to moderate them.

For users who register on our site (if applicable), we keep the personal information provided in their user profiles. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Website administrators can also access and modify this information as needed.

Your Rights Regarding Your Data

If you have an account on our site or have left comments, you can request an exported file containing the personal data we hold about you, including any information you have provided. You can also request the deletion of any personal data we have about you, except for data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Data Transfer

Visitor comments may be screened through an automated spam detection service.
