Privacy Policy

Who we are

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

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our website, we collect the data shown in the comments form. We also collect the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
Our website uses Gravatar, a service that provides globally unique avatars for users based on their email addresses. Our website anonymizes your email address by hashing it to query the Gravatar service. Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After we approve your comment, your avatar will appear alongside it.

Media

If you upload images to our website, avoid uploading embedded location information, such as EXIF and GPS data. Any embedded information you upload is visible to other website users.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our website, you may opt in to having your information, such as your name, email address, and website, stored in cookies. Cookies are for your convenience, so you do not have to re-enter your details when you leave another comment. Cookies expire after one year.

When you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data. Check your web browser’s settings to determine how it handles temporary cookies when you close the browser.

When you log in, we will also set several cookies in your web browser to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies expire after 2 days, while screen option cookies expire after 1 year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. Check your web browser’s settings to see how it handles cookies when logging out of website accounts.

If you publish or edit an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data. It indicates the post ID of the edited article and expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if the visitor had 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 account login status on that website.

Who we share your data with

If you request a password reset, we will record and send your IP address in the reset email.

How long do we retain your data?

We may retain comments, media, and related metadata indefinitely so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
We store the personal information users provide when registering on our website. Users can see, edit (excluding their username), or delete their personal information at any time. Website administrators can also see and edit the information users provide.

Rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an export 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, except for any data we are obliged to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where we send your data

We may send your posts and comments to an automated spam detection service. As previously mentioned, we may send your hashed email address to Gravatar to retrieve your avatar if you have an account registered with that service.

SMS Privacy Policy

We will not share your opt-in to an SMS campaign with any third party for purposes unrelated to providing you with the services of that campaign. We may share your Personal Data, including your SMS opt-in or consent status, with third parties that help us provide our messaging services, including but not limited to platform providers, phone companies, and any other vendors who assist us in the delivery of text messages.

All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.
