Who we are
Our website address is: https://pawiary.com.
You can contact us at: privacy@pawiary.com
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site (if comments are enabled), we collect the data shown in the comment form, the visitor’s IP address, and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) 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 approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website may download and extract location data from images posted publicly.
Contact forms
When you submit a message via our contact form, we collect the data you enter (e.g. name, email address, message content) for the sole purpose of responding to your inquiry. This data is not used for marketing purposes and is stored securely for the duration necessary to process your request.
Cookies
We use a cookie consent banner (powered by CookieYes) to give you control over which types of cookies are stored in your browser. No non-essential cookies (such as analytics) are activated until you give your explicit consent.
You can manage your preferences at any time by clicking on the “Cookie Settings” link at the bottom of the website.
Cookies may include:
- Functional cookies to save your preferences.
- Analytics cookies (e.g. from Google Analytics 4) to collect anonymized data about website usage.
- Embedded content cookies (see below).
For more details, see our Cookie Policy.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. YouTube videos, Instagram posts, etc.). Embedded content from third-party websites behaves as if the visitor has visited that website directly.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content – especially if you have an account and are logged in to those platforms.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to better understand how visitors use our website. Google Analytics may collect anonymized information about your device, location, and interaction with our site.
This tracking is only activated after you give explicit consent via our cookie banner.
You can read more about how Google processes data here:
https://policies.google.com/privacy
Who we share your data with
We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.
If you request a password reset (if enabled), your IP address will be included in the reset email. Otherwise, data is shared only with service providers necessary for website functionality (e.g. hosting, analytics) and only when required by law.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely unless manually removed.
Data from contact form submissions is retained only as long as necessary to process your request.
What rights you have over your data
You have the right to:
- Request access to the personal data we hold about you
- Request correction or deletion of your personal data
- Withdraw your consent at any time
- File a complaint with a data protection authority
To exercise your rights, contact us at privacy@pawiary.com.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service (e.g. Akismet).
Some services like Google Analytics or embedded content providers may transfer data outside the EU (e.g. to the USA) under appropriate legal safeguards.
