We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information when you visit our website. Please read this policy carefully to understand our practices regarding your data.
Who We Are
Our website address is: http://fead-org-uk.preview-domain.com. We are the operators of this site, dedicated to providing information and services while respecting your privacy rights.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, including your name, email address, and the comment itself. We also capture your IP address and browser user agent string to assist with spam detection. An anonymized string (hash) derived from your email may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you use it. Gravatar’s privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if linked to Gravatar) will be publicly visible alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to our website, we recommend avoiding files with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract location information from images on the site, so removing such data beforehand helps protect your privacy.
Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience, so you won’t need to re-enter them for future comments. These cookies last one year. Visiting our login page sets a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies; it contains no personal data and expires when you close your browser. Upon logging in, we set cookies to save your login details (lasting two days) and screen display preferences (lasting one year). Selecting “Remember Me” extends your login cookie to two weeks; logging out removes these cookies. Editing or publishing an article saves an additional cookie with the post ID (no personal data), expiring after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles) from other websites. This content behaves as if you’ve visited the originating site. These third-party sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed tracking, and monitor your interactions, especially if you’re logged into their services. Review their privacy policies for details.
Who We Share Your Data With
We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties except as described here. If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security purposes. We may use automated services (e.g., spam detection) that process your data, but only to enhance site functionality.
How Long We Retain Your Data
Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically, avoiding moderation delays. For registered users, we store personal information provided in your profile indefinitely unless you request deletion. Administrators can view and edit this data as needed.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of your personal data we hold, including anything you’ve provided. You may also request erasure of your data, except for information we must retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes. To exercise these rights, contact us via the site’s contact page. All users can edit or delete their profile information anytime, though usernames cannot be changed.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be processed by an automated spam detection service, which could be hosted outside the UK. Other data remains on our secure servers unless shared as outlined above (e.g., password reset emails). We ensure compliance with applicable data protection laws, including GDPR, for UK and EU users.
