At Taja Express, we’re dedicated to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about how your data is collected and used. This policy outlines our practices regarding the information you provide when using our website, tajaexpress.com.
What Information We Collect
When you interact with our site, we may collect several types of information.
- Comments: When you leave a comment, we collect the information you submit in the comment form. We also collect your IP address and browser user agent to help us detect and prevent spam. An anonymized string (a hash) created from your email may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible next to your comment.
- Media: If you upload images, please be aware that you should avoid images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). This is because other visitors can download and extract this data from any images on the site.
- Cookies: We use cookies to enhance your experience. For example, if you leave a comment, you may opt-in to save your name, email, and website in cookies for a year so you don’t have to re-enter them. We also use temporary cookies when you visit our login page. If you log in, we use cookies to save your login details and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will stay active for two weeks.
- Embedded Content: Articles on our site may feature embedded content from other websites, such as videos, images, or articles. This content behaves as if you were visiting the original website directly. These third-party sites may collect data about you, use their own cookies, and track your interactions with their content. This is especially true if you have an account and are logged into that third-party website.
How We Share Your Data
We take your privacy seriously and don’t share your data with unauthorized third parties. However, in specific situations, some data may be shared. For instance, if you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. Additionally, all visitor comments may be reviewed by an automated spam detection service.
How Long We Keep Your Data
We retain your data for as long as necessary to provide our services and for legal or administrative purposes.
- Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its associated data are kept indefinitely. This allows us to automatically approve any future comments from you.
- User Profiles: For any registered users, we store the personal information they provide in their user profiles. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, though they cannot change their username. Website administrators can also see and edit this information.
Your Rights Over Your Data
You have full control over your personal information.
- Requesting Your Data: If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of all the personal data we hold about you.
- Deleting Your Data: You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not apply to any data we are legally or administratively required to keep.
