When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent to help detect spam.
We may also create an anonymised string (called a hash) from your email address and send it to the Gravatar service to see if you’re using it. The Gravatar privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture may be publicly visible alongside your comment.
Media Uploads
If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading photos with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors can download and extract location information from images posted on the site.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you can choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience — so you won’t have to re-type your details next time. These cookies last for 1 year.
If you log in to your Moetlo account, we’ll set temporary cookies to check if your browser accepts them. These cookies don’t contain personal data and are deleted when you close your browser.
We’ll also save cookies for your login details and screen display settings:
Login cookies last 2 days.
“Remember Me” keeps you logged in for 2 weeks.
Screen settings cookies last 1 year.
Editing or publishing a product or post adds a cookie with the post ID — it lasts for 1 day.
Embedded Content from Other Platforms
Some pages on Moetlo may include embedded content (e.g. YouTube videos, Instagram posts, etc.). This content behaves the same way as if you visited the third-party site directly. Those sites may collect your data, use cookies, and monitor your interactions — especially if you’re logged in on their platform.
How Long We Keep Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This helps us auto-approve future comments instead of holding them for review.
For users who register an account with us, we store the personal info you provide in your user profile. You can view, edit, or delete your information anytime (except your username). Site admins can also see and manage that info.
Your Data Rights
If you have a Moetlo account or have left comments, you can:
Request an export of the personal data we hold about you.
Ask us to erase your personal data (excluding data we must keep for legal or security reasons).
Where Your Data Goes
Visitor comments may be reviewed by an automated spam detection service.
