At PetLoveBuddy, we value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard the information you provide when visiting our website: https://petlovebuddy.com.

Who We Are

Our website address is: https://petlovebuddy.com.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to determine if you are using it. You can view Gravatar’s privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

Upon login, we will set up several cookies to save your login information and screen preferences:

Login cookies last for two days.
Screen option cookies last for one year.
If you select “Remember Me”, login will persist for two weeks.
Logging out removes the login cookies.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is saved to indicate the post ID of the article. This cookie contains no personal data and expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves the same way as if you visited the external website directly.

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

Who We Share Your Data With

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

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This helps us automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments.

For users who register on our site (if any), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal data (except username). Website administrators can also access and edit this information.

Your Data Rights

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request:

An exported file of your personal data
