Our website address is: https://spotlightwebs.com.
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data from the comments form, the visitor’s IP address, and browser user agent string to help detect spam. An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you use it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available [here]. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public alongside your comment.
When uploading images to the website, ensure they do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract location information from images on the site.
If you leave a comment, you can save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience, so you don’t have to re-enter these details in the future. These cookies last for one year.
When you visit the login page, we set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser. After logging in, cookies store your login details and screen preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen preference cookies last for one year. Choosing “Remember Me” keeps your login active for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, a cookie storing the post ID of the edited article will be saved in your browser and expires after one day.
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Interacting with this content behaves as though you visited the external website. These sites may collect data, use cookies, include third-party tracking, and monitor your interactions, especially if you’re logged in to the external site.
If you request a password reset, your IP address is included in the reset email. We do not share your personal data with third parties unless necessary to fulfill your request or if legally required.
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This helps us recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically. For registered users, we store personal data in their user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal data (except their username) at any time. Website administrators can also access and edit this information.
If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an export of your personal data or request that we erase it. This excludes data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
This site uses web fonts provided by Google for uniform representation of fonts. When you open a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly. This process requires a direct connection between your browser and Google servers, thereby informing Google that your IP address accessed our site. The use of Google Web fonts is justified by our interest in presenting our site uniformly and attractively, in line with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. More details can be found in Google’s privacy policy at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.
During your interaction with our store, WooCommerce collects information such as the products you’ve viewed, location, IP address, and browser type, primarily for estimating taxes and shipping. When you purchase, we ask for your name, billing and shipping addresses, email, and payment details. This data is used to process your orders and prevent fraud, complying with legal obligations and improving our services.
This sample language includes the basics around what personal data your store may be collecting, storing and sharing, as well as who may have access to that data. Depending on what settings are enabled and which additional plugins are used, the specific information shared by your store will vary. We recommend consulting with a lawyer when deciding what information to disclose on your privacy policy.
We collect information about visitors who comment on Sites that use our Akismet Anti-spam service. The information we collect depends on how the User sets up Akismet for the Site, but typically includes the commenter’s IP address, user agent, referrer, and Site URL (along with other information directly provided by the commenter such as their name, username, email address, and the comment itself).
For uniform representation of fonts, this page uses web fonts provided by Google. When you open a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.
For this purpose your browser has to establish a direct connection to Google servers. Google thus becomes aware that our web page was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web fonts is done in the interest of a uniform and attractive presentation of our plugin. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO.
If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font is used by your computer.
