Who We Are

This website operates under the domain: https://michelle.com

We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring a safe browsing experience.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our website, we collect the information submitted in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser details. This helps us prevent spam and maintain platform security.

We may use an anonymized version of your email address (a hashed string) to check if you use the Gravatar service. You can review Gravatar’s privacy policy at: https://automattic.com/privacy/.

Once your comment is approved, your profile image becomes visible publicly alongside your comment.

Media Uploads

If you add images to the site, please ensure they do not contain embedded GPS or location information (EXIF data). Visitors can download pictures and extract that information.

Cookies

If you leave a comment, you can choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies. This feature is designed to make future commenting easier, and these cookies remain active for one year.

When visiting the login page, we place a temporary cookie to check whether your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal information and is removed once the browser is closed.

Upon logging in, several cookies are created to store login details and display preferences.

• Login cookies remain active for two days.
• Display preference cookies last one year.
• Selecting “Remember Me” extends your login session for two weeks.
• Logging out removes all login-related cookies.

Suppose you edit or publish a post, an additional cookie is set in your browser. It stores the article’s ID number and expires within 24 hours.

 

Embedded Content From Other Websites

Some pages on our site may include embedded elements such as videos, images, or articles. These items function exactly as they would if you visited the source website directly.

External websites may gather data about your interaction, use cookies, integrate third-party tracking tools, and monitor your activity especially if you are logged into that service.

Data Sharing

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

Data Retention

Comments and their associated metadata are stored indefinitely. This helps us recognize and automatically approve any future comments from the same user instead of holding them for manual review.

For registered users, we store the personal information included in their profiles. Users can view, update, or delete their data at any time except the username, which cannot be changed. Site administrators also have access to manage this information.

Your Data Rights

If you have an account or have interacted with the site through comments, you may request an exported file of all personal data we have about you. You may also ask us to delete any personal information we hold.

Please note, we may retain certain data when required for administrative, legal, or security reasons.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be verified through automated spam-filtering systems to protect our platform and maintain a safe user environment.
