Who We Are
Our website address is: https://paragonkilns.com.


Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as 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 may be visible to the public in the context of your comment.


Media

If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images uploaded on the site.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves the same as if you had visited those websites directly.

These external websites may:

  • Collect data about you.
  • Use cookies.
  • Embed additional third-party tracking.
  • Monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged into that website.

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

  • Comments: Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
  • User Accounts: For users who register on our website, we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Website administrators can also view and edit this information.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including data you’ve provided to us.

You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This excludes 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.
