Who we are
Welcome to The Creative Canopy! Our website address is: https://www.thecreativecanopy.co.uk.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the information provided in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent to assist with spam detection.
An anonymised string created from your email address (known as a hash) may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. You can view the Gravatar privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to our site, please ensure they do not include location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors to the website can download and extract this data from images.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience, so you don’t need to re-enter your details for future comments. These cookies will last for one year.
When 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.
If you log in, we will set up several cookies to store your login information and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and display preference cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out will remove the login cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data but indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you visited the other website directly.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged into 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. This allows us to recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). 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 about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
