Privacy Policy

Who we are

Our website address is: https://artificialgrassoakville.ca.

Comments

When you leave a comment on our site, we collect the information from the comment form, along with your IP address and browser details to help detect spam. If you use Gravatar, an anonymized version of your email (a hash) might be shared with them to see if you have a profile. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible alongside your comment. You can review Gravatar’s privacy policy here: Gravatar Privacy Policy.

Media

When uploading images to the site, make sure to remove any embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract location details from any images you upload.

Cookies

If you leave a comment, you can opt to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies last for a year, so you won’t need to re-enter details when commenting again.

Visiting our login page will trigger a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies, and this cookie disappears when you close the browser.
When you log in, we set up cookies to save your login details and screen preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen options cookies last for a year. Selecting “Remember Me” keeps you logged in for two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.
If you edit or publish a post, an additional cookie is saved to indicate the post ID, but it contains no personal data and expires after one day.

Embedded Content

Posts on this site may include content from other websites (videos, images, etc.). Embedded content behaves the same way as if you visited the other website directly, meaning these sites may collect data, use cookies, and track your interactions with the content, especially if you’re logged into that site.

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 so that any follow-up comments can be approved automatically without moderation.
For registered users, we keep the personal details in your profile. You can view, edit, or delete your information at any time, but you can’t change your username. Administrators can also access and edit this information.

Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of your personal data. You can also ask us to erase any personal information we have, except for data required for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may go through an automated spam detection service.
