Who We Are
Our website address is: https://theperfectblog.site.
This is Melissa’s travel blog, where I share stories, tips, photos, and experiences from around the world.
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.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check 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 (if linked) will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to this website (for example, sharing travel photos in the comments), please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Other visitors to the site may be able to download and extract this data from uploaded images.
Cookies
-
If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for convenience so you don’t need to re-enter your details when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.
-
If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will determine if your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
-
Login and screen preference cookies may be set when you log in. Login cookies last for two days, screen option cookies for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out removes login cookies.
-
When you edit or publish a post, an additional cookie is stored 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
Blog posts may include embedded content (e.g., travel videos, photos, maps, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if you visited the original site.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that content.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How Long We Retain Your Data
-
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically approve follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
-
For registered users (if any), we store the personal information provided in their profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except usernames). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of your personal data, including any data you provided. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you, except for data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where Your Data is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
