Who we are

Our website address is: https://gardenolivies.com/

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our posts, we collect the details shown in the comment form along with the visitor’s IP address and browser information to help prevent spam. Once your comment is approved, it becomes visible on the site, along with the name and profile picture (if you provided one).

Media

If you share images with us or upload them through comments, please ensure they do not contain location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site could download images and extract this data.

Cookies

To make your browsing experience smoother, we may use cookies. For example, if you leave a comment, you can choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies so you don’t need to fill in those details again. These cookies last for one year.
When logging in (if applicable), temporary cookies may also be set to save login preferences and display settings.

Embedded content from other websites

Our articles may include videos, images, or other content embedded from external sources (like YouTube or Instagram). This content behaves exactly as if you visited the other website directly and may collect data or use cookies according to their own privacy practices.

Who we share your data with

We do not sell or share your personal data for marketing purposes. In certain cases, such as password resets, your IP address may be included in automated security checks or system-generated emails.

How long we retain your data

Comments and their metadata are stored indefinitely to help us recognize and approve future comments faster. If you create an account (when available), your personal details are stored in your profile, which you can edit or delete anytime (except your username).

What rights you have over your data

If you’ve left comments or created an account, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You can also request deletion of your data, except for information we’re required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked automatically through a spam detection service to keep discussions safe and free from spam.
