Who We Are

At Petfleck, we prioritize your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. Our website address is https://petfleck.com.

Comments

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

An anonymized string created from your email address, also known as a hash, may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy is available here. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible publicly alongside your comment.

Media

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

Cookies

When you leave a comment on our site, you may opt to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies facilitate your convenience by saving your details for future comments. They will last for one year.

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

Upon logging in, we will set up several cookies to store your login information and screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, while screen options cookies last for a 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.

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

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content such as videos, images, or articles. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you had visited those external websites directly.

These external sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content. This includes tracking interactions if you have an account and are logged in to the external 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

Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For registered users on our website, we store the personal information provided in their user profiles. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for their username. Website administrators also have access to see and edit this 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. You may also request the deletion of any personal data we hold about you, excluding data necessary for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent

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