Privacy Policy
Welcome to Copper Collections! Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit our website: https://www.coppercollections.co.za.
1. Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the information shown in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser information. This helps us detect spam.
We may use an anonymized version of your email (a hash) to check if you’re using the Gravatar service for profile pictures. Their privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture may be visible to the public alongside your comment. Privacy Policy
2. Media
If you upload images to our website, please avoid uploading photos that include embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract this data from images. Privacy Policy
3. Cookies
Our website uses cookies to improve your experience:
- If you leave a comment, you can choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies. These last for one year.
- When you log in, we set cookies to remember your login details and display preferences.
- Login cookies last for two days (or two weeks if you select “Remember Me”).
- Display preference cookies last for one year.
- Logging out will remove login cookies. Privacy Policy
- If you edit or publish a post, a cookie will be saved indicating the article ID. It doesn’t store personal data and expires in one day. Privacy Policy
4. Embedded Content from Other Websites
Some articles may include embedded content such as videos, images, or articles from other websites. This content behaves just as if you visited the other site, which may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interaction—especially if you’re logged in to that site.
We do not sell or share your personal information with third parties. If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email for security purposes.
6. How Long We Keep Your Data
- Comments and their metadata are kept indefinitely to recognize and approve follow-up comments more quickly.
- For registered users, we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except the username). Administrators can also view and edit that information.
7. 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 request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we’re required to keep for legal or security purposes.
8. Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
9. How We Protect Your Data
We use security measures such as SSL encryption, firewalls, and routine monitoring to protect your personal data. While we do our best, no online platform can be guaranteed completely secure.
