Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2023/05/28

Welcome to Frosty’s Hustle! We value your privacy and want to ensure that your personal information is protected. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you visit our website [http://frostyshustle.com]. By accessing or using our website, you agree to the terms outlined in this policy.

Comments

When you leave a comment on our site, we collect the data provided in the comments form, along with your IP address and browser user agent string. This information helps us detect and prevent spam. Additionally, if you have a Gravatar account, an anonymized string (hash) generated from your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to display your profile picture alongside your comment. You can review the Gravatar service Privacy Policy here.

Media

If you upload images to our website, we advise you to refrain from including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from the images present on the site.

Cookies

Commenting

When you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies provide convenience by auto-populating your details when you leave subsequent comments. These cookies will remain valid for one year.

Login

When you visit our login page, a temporary cookie is set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain any personal data and is discarded when you close your browser. Additionally, when you log in, we set up several cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies remain valid for two days, while screen options cookies last for a year. If you select the “Remember Me” option, your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out of your account removes the login cookies.

Article Editing

When you edit or publish an article, a cookie that contains no personal data is saved in your browser. This cookie simply indicates the post ID of the article you recently edited and expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Our articles may include embedded content such as videos, images, or articles from other websites. Embedded content behaves in the same way as if you had visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content. This tracking may occur even if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Sharing of Data

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

Data Retention

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue. For registered users, we store the personal information provided in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for the username, which cannot be changed). Website administrators also have access to and can edit this information.

Your Data Rights

If you have an account on our site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You also have the right to request the erasure of any personal data we hold about you. However, please note that we may be required to retain certain data for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Data Transfer

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

If you have any questions or concerns about our Privacy Policy, please contact us at [email address]. We may update this policy from time to time, and the most recent version will be available on our website.
