At darakilmartin.ie, your privacy is important to us. This policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you interact with our website.
Who We Are
Our website address is: https://darakilmartin.ie.
What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data provided in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This helps us detect spam.
An anonymized string (or “hash”) created from your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you use it. The Gravatar privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture (if linked) is visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site may download and extract location data from such images.
Cookies
We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience and simplify certain processes:
- Comments: If you leave a comment, you may opt to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience and will last for one year.
- Login: If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie is set to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not store personal data and is discarded when you close your browser. When you log in, additional cookies 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 login cookies to two weeks. Logging out removes all login cookies.
- Article Editing: If you edit or publish an article, a cookie is saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data but indicates the post ID of the edited article. It expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles or pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you visited the originating website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their content, including tracking interactions if you are logged in to those websites.
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: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically rather than holding them in a moderation queue.
- Registered Users: For users who register on our website, we store the personal information provided in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for their username. Website administrators can also access and edit this information.
Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you provided. You can also request that we delete any personal data we hold. This excludes 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.
Security of Your Data
We take the security of your personal data seriously and use appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect it from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Please revisit this page periodically to stay informed.
