Who we are

Our website address is: https://www.rerefined.co.uk. Rare Refined is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information when you visit our website or interact with our services.

Comments

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

An anonymized string (also called a hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from uploaded images.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so you don’t have to re-enter your details for future comments. These cookies last for one year.

When you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we set cookies to save your login credentials and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and display settings cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login persists for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.

If you edit or publish an article, a cookie is stored in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.

 

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if the visitor has visited that external site directly.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website (if any), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except the username). Website administrators can also view and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you’ve provided to us. You may also request that we delete any personal data we hold about you. This does not include data we are obliged to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

To make such a request, please contact us at info@rarerefined.co.uk.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be screened through an automated spam detection service.
