Privacy Policy

Who we are

Our website address is: http://hampsteadtaxis.net.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we gather the information displayed in the comments form, along with the visitor's IP address and browser user agent string to aid in spam detection.

An anonymized string, derived from your email address (referred to as a hash), may be shared with the Gravatar service to determine its use. The Gravatar service's privacy policy is accessible here. Upon approval of your comment, your profile picture becomes visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

When uploading images to the website, please refrain from including images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) since visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from such images.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience, so you don't need to re-enter your details when posting another comment. These cookies have a one-year duration.

When you visit our login page, we establish a temporary cookie to assess your browser's acceptance of cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

Upon logging in, we also place several cookies to preserve your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies persist for two days, while screen options cookies are retained for a year. If you select "Remember Me," your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out of your account will remove the login cookies.

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

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may contain embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites operates in the same manner as if you had visited the other website in person.

These external websites may collect information about you, employ cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and track your interaction with the embedded content, including monitoring your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that particular website.

Who we share your data with

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

How long we retain your data

For comments, both the comment and its associated metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve any subsequent comments, bypassing the need to place them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website (if any), the personal information they provide in their user profile is also stored. Users have the ability to view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (with the exception of their username, which cannot be altered). Website administrators can also view and edit this information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you have the option to request an exported file containing the personal data we have on record about you, including any data you have provided to us. Additionally, you can request the deletion of any personal data we have about you. Please note that this does not encompass any data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be subject to scrutiny through an automated spam detection service.
