Privacy Policy

Who We Are

Emma’s Chapter is a personal portfolio, blog, and creative platform operated by Emma Hankey.
Our website address is: https://www.emmaschapter.com


Comments

When visitors leave comments on the 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 detect spam.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at Automattic. After approval of your comment, your profile picture may be 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 can download and extract any location data from images displayed on the site.


Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience so you do not have to re-enter your details when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.

If you visit the login page, a temporary cookie will be set to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, cookies are set up to save your login information and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen option cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out removes login cookies.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie may be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.


Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, articles, or social media posts). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you visited the other website directly.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with embedded content, especially if you have an account and are logged in to that platform.


Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to others.


How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows follow-up comments to be automatically approved instead of held for moderation.

For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in the user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except usernames). Website administrators can also access and edit this information.


What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided. You may also request that we erase your personal data, except for information 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.
