Privacy Policy

Who We Are
Our dzoogahnaturals.com is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information when you visit our website.

What Data We Collect and Why

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. This data helps us detect and reduce spam.

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

Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract location data from these images.

Cookies
Our website uses cookies to improve your browsing experience:

  • If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience and last for one year.
  • When you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
  • After logging in, additional cookies will save your login information and screen preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen preference cookies last for a year. Selecting “Remember Me” extends your login for two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.
  • When editing or publishing an article, a cookie with the post ID of the article is saved for one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you visited the external website directly. These websites may collect data, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interactions, especially if you are logged into those websites.

Data Sharing and Retention

Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How Long We Retain Your Data

  • Comments and their metadata are stored indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them for moderation.
  • For users who register on our site, we store the personal information they provide in their user profiles. Registered users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Website administrators also have access to edit this information.

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 may also request that we erase your personal data. This excludes data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be reviewed through an automated spam detection service to ensure site security and quality.

This Privacy Policy reflects our commitment to transparency and your privacy. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact us at [Insert Contact Email].
