1. Who We Are

Our website address is: https://plantscare.org

2. Comments

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

An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
After your comment is approved, your profile picture (if available) may be visible to the public alongside your comment.

3. Media

If you upload images to the website, we recommend removing any embedded location data (EXIF GPS) before uploading. Visitors can download and extract location data from images on the website.

4. Cookies

  • If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience, so you don’t have to re-enter your details the next time you comment. These cookies last for one year.
  • When you visit the login page, a temporary cookie is set to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
  • When you log in, several cookies are set to save your login details and display preferences. Login cookies last two days, and screen option cookies last for one year. Selecting “Remember Me” keeps you logged in for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.
  • If you edit or publish a post, a cookie will be saved in your browser that includes the post ID of the article. This cookie contains no personal data and expires after one day.

5. Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles). Embedded content behaves just as if you visited the original website.

These third-party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional tracking, and monitor your interaction with that content, especially if you are logged in to those sites.

6. Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security purposes.

7. How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This helps us recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.

For users who register on our site (if any), we store the personal information they provide in their profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except their username). Website administrators can also access and edit that information.

8. Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold, except for data we are required to keep for legal, administrative, or security reasons.

9. Where Your Data Is Sent

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