Who We Are Our website address is: https://hemplymade.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 assist with spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to verify if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes visible to the public alongside your comment.

Media If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading files with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Other visitors to the website can download and extract any location data embedded in images on the site.

Cookies

  • Comments: If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These exist for your convenience so you do not have to re-enter your details on future comments. These cookies persist for one year.
  • Login & Session: Visiting our login page sets a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
  • Account Access: When you log in, we establish cookies to save your login credentials and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen options cookies last for one year. Selecting "Remember Me" keeps your login active for two weeks. Logging out clears all login cookies immediately.
  • Content Management: Editing or publishing an article sets an additional cookie in your browser containing no personal data; it merely logs the post ID of the edited article and expires after 24 hours.

Embedded Content From Other Websites Articles on this site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, and articles). Embedded content from third-party websites behaves in the exact same manner as if the visitor had navigated directly to the external site.

These third-party platforms may collect data about you, utilize cookies, embed additional tracking tools, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content—particularly if you maintain an active account and are logged in to that service.

Data Sharing & Transfers

All users can view, edit, or delete their personal details at any time (with the exception of their username). Site administrators have access to view and update this information as well.

Your Data Rights If you maintain an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file containing the personal data we hold about you, including any information you have provided directly.
