What we collect and why
Genuinely Amber is committed to protecting your privacy. Data collected on this site may include name, email address, account preferences, and information about cookies. Your email address is collected when you choose to subscribe and is used to send out emails about new posts. If you are a registered user, data displayed from your user profile is collected and is visible if you choose to leave a comment on this website.
Comments
When leaving a comment on this site, we collect the date displayed in the comments form, and also the visitors IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy police can be found here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to this site, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included as visitors to this website can download and extract location data from images.
Cookies
This website uses cookies in an effort to better your browsing experience and provides information about your preferences. Cookies can be accepted or denied. If desired, you should be able to go into your browser settings and disable all cookies at any time.
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience so you don’t have to fill in these details again should you leave another comment. These cookies last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days and screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and indicates the post ID of the article you edited, and expires after one day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (like videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
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
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. For users that register on our website (if any), we also store personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Akismet
This site uses Akismet, an anti-spam service. Information collected typically includes the commenter’s IP address, user agent, referrer, and site URL (along with other information directly provided by the commenter such as name, username, email address, and the comment itself).
External links are included in this website. If you navigate to another website from Genuinely Amber, you will want to read the privacy policy for that website as that website is not protected by this privacy policy.
This privacy policy is subject to change, you can refer back at any time. You can email thegenuinely.amber@gmail.com with questions.
