Learn how Crave AC protects your personal information and keeps your data safe.
Who we are
Our website address is: https://craveac.com.au.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the information shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This information helps us detect and prevent spam.
An anonymised string (also called a hash) created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you use their service. You can view Gravatar’s privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to our website, please avoid including any embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site may be able to download and extract location data from images.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so you don’t have to fill in these details again when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal information and is deleted when you close your browser.
When you log in, we set cookies to save your login details and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal information and only records the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded content from other websites
Our articles may contain embedded content (such as videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if you visited that website directly.
These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your activity if you are logged in to those websites.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security reasons.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, both the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This allows us to recognise and automatically approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them for moderation.
For users registered on our website (if any), we store the personal information provided in their user profiles. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except their username. Website administrators can also view and edit this information.
Your rights over your data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, including any information you have provided. You may also request that we erase your personal data, except for any information we must keep for legal, administrative, or security reasons.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked by an automated spam detection service.
