PRIVACY POLICY (THE CULINARY JUMBLE)

 

Who are we?

The Culinary Jumble is run by Tracy Morgan, and is a blog for creating and sharing recipes. The site is no longer updated, but adverts still remain on the blog.

Our website address is: https://www.theculinaryjumble.com.

 

What personal data we collect and why we collect it?

 

Comments

When visitors leave comments on The Spelt Kitchen, we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymised 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.

 

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

 

What rights you have over your data

If you have left comments, you can request to receive 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 obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
