At QPET, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it through this policy. This document outlines the types of information we may collect from you when you visit our website and explains how we handle and secure this data.
1. Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the information provided in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist with spam detection.
To display your profile picture next to your comment, an anonymized string generated from your email address (also known as a hash) may be shared with the Gravatar service. You can view Gravatar’s privacy policy here. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public alongside your comment.
2. Media
If you upload images to our site, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS) in these images. Visitors to the site can download and extract location data from images on the site if it is included.
3. Cookies
- Comments: When you leave a comment, you may opt to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies will last for one year.
- Login: If you visit our login page, we’ll set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie is deleted when you close your browser.
- If you log in, we set up additional cookies to save your login information and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will remain active for two weeks. Upon logout, login cookies are removed.
- Publishing: When you edit or publish an article, a cookie is stored in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.
4. Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on our site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, articles, etc.). This content behaves exactly as if the visitor had visited the other website, meaning these websites may collect data, use cookies, and track your interaction with the embedded content if you are logged into that site.
5. Data Sharing
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security purposes.
6. Data Retention
- Comments: When you leave a comment, it and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.
- Registered Users: For users registered on our site, we store the personal information provided in their profile. Registered users can view, edit, or delete their personal information (with the exception of username changes). Site administrators can also view and edit this information.
7. Your Data Rights
If you have an account on our site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You may also request that we delete any personal data we hold about you, with exceptions for data required for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
8. Data Transfers
Visitor comments may be processed through an automated spam detection service.
This policy is subject to changes. We encourage you to review it periodically for any updates.
