Our website address is: https://www.originalsaustralia.com.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the information entered in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser details, to assist with spam detection.
An anonymised string generated from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. You can view the Gravatar service’s privacy policy at: 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 website, please ensure the images do not include embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract location data from images that are publicly available.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our website, you can choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are provided for your convenience so that you do not have to re-enter your details when leaving another comment. These cookies will remain in place for one year.
If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will be set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain personal data and is removed when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login details and screen preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen option cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login information will remain for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie does not contain personal data but records the post ID of the article you edited. It will expire after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Some articles on our site may feature embedded content (such as videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites functions as though you have visited the original website directly.
These external sites may collect data about you, use cookies, and integrate additional third-party tracking. They may also monitor your interactions with the embedded content, especially if you have an account on the external website and are logged in.
Sharing Your Data
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How Long We Retain Your Data
When you leave a comment, the comment and its associated metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically approve follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (with the exception of their username, which cannot be changed). Website administrators can also view and modify this information.
Your Data Rights
If you have an account on our site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any information you have provided to us. You can also ask us to delete any personal data we hold about you. This does not apply to data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where Your Data is Sent
Visitor comments may be examined through an automated spam detection service.
