Who we are
Our website address is: https://belinhalimited.co.uk. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your data is handled with transparency and care.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the information entered in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist in detecting and preventing spam. This process helps ensure a safe and reliable experience for all our users.
Additionally, 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 choose to upload images to our website, please avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract location information from such images. To protect your privacy, we advise removing location data from any media files before uploading.
Cookies
We use cookies to enhance your experience on our site. For example, if you leave a comment, you have the option to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This way, you won’t need to fill in your details again for future comments. These cookies are retained for one year.
When you visit our login page, a temporary cookie is set to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal information and is discarded when you close your browser.
Once you log in, we set additional cookies to save your login details and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen options cookies remain for one year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out will remove these cookies.
For users who edit or publish articles, a cookie will be set in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply records the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content, such as videos, images, or articles from external websites. Embedded content behaves exactly as if you were visiting the external website directly. These third-party sites may collect data about you, use cookies, or employ additional tracking technologies to monitor your interaction with their content, especially if you are logged into an account on their platform.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email to ensure secure communication and account recovery.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, both the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This allows us to automatically approve follow-up comments, rather than holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information they provide in their user profiles. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for their usernames, which cannot be changed. Website administrators can also view and manage this information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you have the right to request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you provided. You can also request that we delete any personal data we have about you. Please note, however, that we are required to retain some data for legal, administrative, or security reasons.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service to maintain the security and integrity of our platform.
