Edmond: Our Privacy Policy
Your privacy is a top priority for us at Edmond. This policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your personal information. We want you to feel confident and secure whenever you interact with our website.
What Personal Data We Collect and Why
We collect certain data to improve your experience and ensure our website runs smoothly. We promise to handle this information with care and transparency.
Comments When you leave a comment on our site, we collect the data you enter into the comment form. We also collect your IP address and information about your browser. This is to help us detect spam. A hashed string from your email may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. Furthermore, once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible next to your comment.
Media If you upload images to our website, please avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data, such as EXIF GPS. This is because other visitors can download and extract this location data from the images.
Cookies When you leave a comment, you may opt to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so you do not have to fill in your details again. These cookies last for one year.
If you have an account and log in, we will set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts them. Please note, this temporary 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 screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, while screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Ultimately, when you log out, your login cookies are removed.
Embedded Content Articles on this site may include embedded content, such as videos, images, or articles from other websites. This embedded content behaves in the same way as if you had visited the other website directly. Therefore, these websites may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interaction with their content.
Who We Share Your Data With
We take great care in sharing your data. Primarily, visitor comments are checked through an automated spam detection service. In addition, we may share your data with analytics partners to help us improve our services.
Furthermore, your contact information is considered confidential and will not be disclosed unless requested by the Legal Affairs Department for specific legal reasons. Finally, we share your address and telephone number with shipping and delivery companies so they can fulfil your orders.
How Long We Retain Your Data
Your data is important to us. If you leave a comment, we retain the comment and its metadata indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognise and approve any follow-up comments from you. For users who register on our website, we store the personal information they provide in their user profile.
Your Rights Over Your Data
You have full control over your personal data. If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You also have the right to request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. However, this does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
