Our Privacy Policy

Effective August 5, 2023

Who we are

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

Information We Collect

    Personal Information: We may collect personally identifiable information (PII) that you voluntarily provide to us, such as your name, email address, phone number, postal address, and any other information you submit via forms on our website.

    Non-Personal Information: We also collect non-personal information, such as your browser type, IP address, referring website, pages visited, and the date and time of your visit. This information is aggregated and used to analyze trends, improve our website, and enhance user experience.

    How We Use Your Information

    Personal Information: We may use your personal information to:

    • Provide the services and information you request.
    • Process and fulfill orders and transactions.
    • Respond to your inquiries and provide customer support.
    • Send you marketing and promotional materials (if you have opted-in).
    • Customize and improve our website and services.
    • Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms of use.

    Non-Personal Information: Non-personal information is used for statistical analysis, site improvement, and administration purposes. This data does not identify you personally and is not combined with any personal information.

    Comments

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

    An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is 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) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

    Cookies and similar technologies

    Our website may use cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience, and gather usage information. You have the option to disable cookies through your browser settings, but doing so may limit some features of our website.

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

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

    When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your 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 of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

    Embedded content from other websites

    Information on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

    These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

    Who we share your data with

    If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

    Third-Party Services

    We may use third-party service providers to assist us in various aspects of our business, such as payment processing, analytics, and marketing. These third parties may have access to your personal information, but they are obligated to maintain its confidentiality and use it only for the intended purpose.

    How long we retain your data

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

    For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All 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.

    Data Security

    We employ industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Despite our best efforts, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

    Links to External Sites

    Our website may contain links to external sites not operated by us. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these external websites. We encourage you to review their respective privacy policies before providing any personal 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.

    Changes to This Privacy Policy

    We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal obligations. The updated policy will be posted on our website, and the effective date will be revised accordingly. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
