Who we are

Suggested text: You can find our website at the following address: https://www.ashbournepatios.ie.

Comments

Suggested text: When a visitor leaves a comment on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form. We also record the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string, which helps us to detect spam and keep the site safe.

An anonymised string created from your email address (also known as a hash) may be shared with the Gravatar service to check whether you use it. You can read the Gravatar service Privacy Policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment has been approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public alongside your comment.

Media

Suggested text: If you upload images to the website, we recommend that you avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Anyone visiting the website can download images and extract any location data they contain.

Cookies

Suggested text: If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address and website in cookies. This is simply for your convenience, so you do not need to enter your details again when you write another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

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

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login details and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, while screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will be kept for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie holds no personal data and simply records the post ID of the article you have just edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded content from other websites

Suggested text: Articles on this site may include embedded content (for example videos, images, articles and so on). Embedded content from other websites behaves in exactly the same way as if the visitor had gone to the other website directly.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, add further third party tracking and monitor how you interact with that embedded content. This includes tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

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

How long we retain your data

Suggested text: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are kept indefinitely. This allows us to recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically, rather than holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit or delete their personal information at any time, although they cannot change their username. Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

Suggested text: If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can ask to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including anything you have provided to us. You can also ask us to erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not apply to any data we are required to keep for administrative, legal or security purposes.

Where your data is sent

Suggested text: Visitor comments may be checked by an automated spam detection service.
