Comments

When patrons leave comments on the app we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the patron’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized 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.

Third Party Payment Gateway – Financial Information

When patrons make donations they will be guided through the payment gateway powered by Stripe. Stripe is the leader in secure and easy payment options and their privacy policy is available here: https://stripe.com/privacy

Media

If you upload images to the app, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Patron to the app can download and extract any location data from images on the app.

If you use our app you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cache. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your device accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your device.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

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 is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our app, we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). App administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

 If you have an account on this app, or 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.

Where we send your data

Comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
