At The Wander Plate, accessible from https://thewanderplate.com, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal data you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data.

1. Who We Are

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

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or your data, please contact us at:

2. What Personal Data We Collect and Why

Comments

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

An anonymised string (hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public alongside your comment.

Media

If you upload images, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site may download and extract location data from images.

Cookies

We use cookies to improve your browsing experience. Cookies may be set when:

  • You leave a comment (to remember your details).
  • You log in (to manage session and display options).
  • You edit or publish content (to store post ID temporarily).

Cookies typically last between 1 day and 1 year, depending on their function. You can disable cookies through your browser settings at any time.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if the visitor has visited the other website. These sites may collect data, use cookies, and track your interaction if you are logged into their platform.

3. Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal data. Limited data may be shared with trusted service providers for site functionality (e.g. spam detection, analytics).

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

4. How Long We Retain Your Data

  • Comments and metadata: kept indefinitely to recognise and approve follow-ups automatically.
  • Registered users (if applicable): personal information stored in user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their information at any time (except usernames). Website administrators can also view and edit this information.

5. Your Rights Over Your Data

You have the right to:

  • Request an exported file of personal data we hold about you.
  • Request the erasure of personal data we hold about you (except where we must retain data for administrative, legal, or security purposes).

To make a request, please contact us at thewanderplate@gmail.com

6. Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Other third-party services (e.g. analytics, hosting providers) may process data securely on our behalf.

7. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date.
