Who we are
Our website address is: https://www.thebarnnursery.co.uk
This website is operated by The Barn Nursery. We are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy and ensuring that any personal data you provide is handled in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
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 anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check whether you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/.
After approval of your comment, your profile picture may be visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website may be able to download and extract location data from images on the site.
Cookies
Our website uses cookies to improve user experience and enable certain website functionality.
If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address and website in cookies. These cookies are for convenience so that you do not have to re-enter your details when leaving another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our 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, several cookies will be set to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies typically last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login may persist for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply identifies the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.
You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles or pages on this site may include embedded content such as videos, images or articles from other websites.
Embedded content behaves in the same way as if you visited the external website directly. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, particularly if you have an account and are logged into that external website.
Who we share your data with
We do not sell or rent your personal data.
If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email. Personal data may also be processed by trusted service providers who help operate and maintain the website.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata may be retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically rather than holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on the website (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Registered users can view, edit or delete their personal information at any time (except their username). Website administrators may also access and edit this information where necessary.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can 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 personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data 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.
Contact information
If you have any questions about this privacy policy or how your data is handled, please contact us through the contact details provided on our website.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page and the “last updated” date will be revised accordingly.
