Who we are

Our website address is: https://velvetlines.com.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract location data from images posted on the site.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so you don’t need to fill in your details again when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.

If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will be set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will set up several cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences:

• Login cookies last for two days.

• Screen options cookies last for a year.

• Selecting “Remember Me” extends your login for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.

If you edit or publish content, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply records the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles and other content on this site may include embedded media (e.g., images, audio, videos, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves the same as if you visited that website directly.

These external sites may collect your data, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their content, including tracking your interactions if you are logged in to their 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

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely to automatically approve follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our site, we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Website administrators can also view 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 an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including data you provided to us. You can also request that we erase your personal data. This excludes any data we are obligated to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
