Privacy Policy

Who We Are Our website address is: everythinggreen.org.

Comments When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to aid in spam detection.

An anonymized string generated from your email address (a hash) may be shared with the Gravatar service to determine if you use it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Upon comment approval, your profile picture will be publicly visible alongside your comment.

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

Cookies If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience, so you do not have to re-enter your details when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.

If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will be set to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will set up cookies to save your login details and screen display preferences. Login cookies last two days, while screen options cookies last for a year. Selecting “Remember Me” keeps your login active for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser, indicating the post ID of the article. This cookie expires after one day and contains no personal data.

Embedded Content from Other Websites Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if the visitor has visited the source website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking interactions if you have an account and are logged in to 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 If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely to automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For registered users, we store the personal information provided in their user profiles. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information anytime (except usernames). 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, including data you provided. You may also request that we erase personal data we hold about you. This excludes data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
