This Privacy Policy explains how HoHoYa Bites handles your data and protects your privacy. Our commitment to data protection ensures that your information remains secure.
Who we are
Our website address is: https://hohoyabites.com.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
We use the Akismet plugin to detect and filter out spam comments automatically. Comments identified as spam are sent to the trash. Only approved comments will be displayed after manual review by the site administrator.
Comments will only appear on the site once they have been manually reviewed and approved by the administrator.
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. You can review the Gravatar service’s privacy policy here. After approval of your comment, your profile picture will be visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to our website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors can download and extract any location data from images on our site.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. 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.
Akismet will also use cookies to manage spam filtering.
When you log in, we will set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one 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.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on HoHoYa Bites may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website directly.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged into that website.
Who we share your data with
We do not share your data with third parties, except for the purpose of spam detection using Akismet.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely to help us recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For registered users (if any), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on our 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 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 required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service (e.g., Akismet). Since comments require manual approval, they will be held in a queue until they are reviewed and approved by the site administrator.
