Who We Are

Our website address is https://chrisandtammy.com. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and share information when you visit our website or interact with our services.


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.

If you use Gravatar, an anonymized string (hash) of your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to verify if you have a profile with them. For more details, you can review the Gravatar privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if applicable) is publicly visible alongside your comment.


Media

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


Cookies

  • Comments Cookies: If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience. These cookies will last for one year, so you won’t need to re-enter this information on future comments.

  • Login Cookies: If you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies; this cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser. When you log in, we set cookies to store your login information and display preferences:

    • Login cookies last for two days.
    • Screen display option cookies last for one year.
    • If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks.
    • Logging out will remove login cookies.
  • Editing/Publishing Cookies: When you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is stored 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 on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you visited the other website directly, meaning these websites may:

  • Collect data about you
  • Use cookies
  • Embed additional third-party tracking
  • Monitor your interactions with that embedded content, particularly if you are logged in to that website.

Please review the privacy policies of these external websites for more information.


Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email for security purposes.


How Long We Retain Your Data

  • Comments: If you leave a comment, both the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This helps us recognize and approve any follow-up comments without moderation delays.

  • User Profiles: For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except their username). Website administrators also have access to view and edit this information.


Your Data Rights

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. You may also request that we delete any personal data we hold, subject to any administrative, legal, or security obligations we must fulfill.


Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be reviewed through an automated spam detection service to maintain the quality and security of our website.


This policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in our practices or relevant legal requirements. For questions or concerns regarding your data, please contact us at contact@chrisandtammy.com.
