By engaging with our website, you agree to the practices described below.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data provided in the comments form, which includes your name, email address, and the content of the comment. Additionally, we collect the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This information is essential for detecting and filtering spam to maintain the quality and integrity of user-generated content on the website.
An anonymized string generated from your email address (also known as a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine if you are using it. You can review the privacy policy of Gravatar here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if available) will be displayed publicly in the context of your comment, contributing to a personalized and engaging experience for all visitors.
Media
If you choose to upload media (images or videos) to the website, we recommend that you avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data embedded in images, which may compromise the privacy of individuals and locations. We encourage users to respect the privacy of others when uploading media files.
Cookies
We use cookies to enhance your experience while using our website. If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are provided for your convenience, so you don’t have to re-enter your details when leaving another comment. These cookies are stored for a period of one year.
When you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded once you close your browser.
Upon logging into our website, several cookies will be set up to store your login information and your screen display preferences. Login cookies remain active for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select the “Remember Me” option, your login session will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
Additionally, if you edit or publish an article, an extra cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. This cookie expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Certain articles on our website may include embedded content, such as videos, images, or articles, from external websites. Embedded content from other sites functions exactly as though you were visiting those other websites directly. These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, especially if you have an account with the external website and are logged in.
We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any external websites to understand how your data may be collected and used when interacting with embedded content.
Who We Share Your Data With
Firante Gorilla Treks does not sell or share your personal data with third parties for commercial purposes. However, if you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the password reset email for security purposes. This helps ensure that only authorized users are able to access their accounts. In addition, we may share your data with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website and providing our services, such as hosting and email services. These service providers are contractually obligated to keep your data secure and only use it for the purposes specified by us.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment on our site, the comment and its associated metadata are retained indefinitely. This practice allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically, without having to place them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website (if applicable), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. Registered users can access, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (with the exception of their username, which cannot be modified). Website administrators also have the ability to view and edit this information.
