Privacy Policy

Who we are

Preiseheld is committed to respecting and protecting your privacy. This policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information. By using our website, you agree to this policy.

What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

When you leave a comment on our site, we collect your name, email address, and website (if provided), along with your IP address and browser user agent string to help us detect spam. We may also use an anonymized string created from your email address (hash) to check if you have a Gravatar account. If you do, your Gravatar profile picture may be displayed with your comment.

Media

If you upload images to our website, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) as visitors can download and extract this information from the images.

Contact Forms Cookies

When you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains 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 information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist 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 includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded Content From Other Websites

Articles on our site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.) from other websites. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Analytics

We use analytics services to help us understand how our website is being used. These services may collect and process information about your use of our website, including your IP address, device information, and browsing activity.

Who we share your data with

We do not share your personal data with third parties unless required by law or for the purposes of website hosting, maintenance, or improvement. In such cases, we will take appropriate measures to ensure your personal data is protected.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment on our site, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that 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 (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on our site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

If you have additional questions or require more information about our Privacy Policy, do not hesitate to contact us through email at privacy@preiseheld.de
