At Grateful Goodbye, your privacy matters to us. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit gratefulgoodbye.ca or contact us online. By using our site, you agree to the practices described here.
Comments
When visitors leave comments, we collect the information shown in the comment form, as well as your IP address and browser user agent to help detect spam. An anonymized string (hash) from your email may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. After your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes visible to the public beside your comment.
Media
If you upload images, please avoid including location data (EXIF GPS). Other visitors could download and extract location data from your uploaded images.
Cookies
We use cookies to improve your browsing experience. If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies so you don’t have to re-enter them next time.
These cookies last for one year. Temporary cookies are also used for login sessions and editing articles. You can disable cookies through your browser settings at any time.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (for example, videos or images). Embedded content behaves exactly as if you visited the original website.
Those sites may collect data, use cookies, and track your interaction. Please review their privacy policies for more details.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address is included in the reset email. We do not sell, trade, or rent users’ personal identification information to others.
How Long We Retain Your Data
Comments and their metadata are kept indefinitely to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.
If you register on our site, we store your personal information in your profile. You can view, edit, or delete your data anytime (except your username).
Your Data Rights
If you have an account or have left comments, you can request a copy of your data or ask us to delete it. This does not include data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
