Privacy Policy for Choc-Ola

Who We Are

Welcome to Choc-Ola! Our website address is choc-ola.com.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to aid in spam detection. An anonymized string (also known as a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) as visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

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

Visiting our login page sets a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

Logging in sets multiple cookies to save your login information and screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out, the login cookies will be removed.

Editing or publishing an article sets an additional cookie in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Such content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited those websites directly. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you are logged in to those websites.

Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email to ensure the security of your account.

How Long We Retain Your Data

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

For users who register on our site (if any), we store the personal information they provide in their user profiles. 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 to ensure the integrity and safety of our website.

Your Privacy Matters

At Choc-Ola, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. If you have any questions or concerns about how we handle your data, please feel free to contact us through our website. We aim to maintain transparency and trust with all our visitors and customers, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience on our platform.
