Who We Are
Our website address is: http://newenglandmugs.com.
Comments
When visitors leave comments, we collect the information shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent, to help detect spam. If you use Gravatar, an anonymized version of your email (called a hash) may be sent to Gravatar to check if you’re using it. The Gravatar privacy policy is available here. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to our website, avoid including location data (EXIF GPS) in the files, as visitors can download and extract this information.
Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience, so you don’t need to re-enter your details on future comments. These cookies last for one year. A temporary cookie is also set if you visit our login page to check if your browser accepts cookies; this cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we set cookies to save your login and display preferences. Login cookies last two days; display preference cookies last a year. Selecting “Remember Me” extends the login duration to two weeks. If you log out, login cookies are removed. Editing or publishing an article sets an additional, one-day cookie in your browser, which contains no personal data.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images). Embedded content from other websites behaves the same way as if you visited those sites directly. These sites may collect data, use cookies, and include third-party tracking, particularly if you’re logged into their 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
Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely to automatically approve follow-up comments. For users registered on our site, we store the personal information provided in their profile, which they can view, edit, or delete anytime (except for usernames). Administrators can also view and edit this information.
Your Data Rights
If you have an account or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold, or ask that we erase your personal data (excluding data we are legally required to retain).
Where Your Data is Sent
Visitor comments may be reviewed through an automated spam detection service.
