Who we are
Our website address is: https://themichimethod.com
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the site can download and extract location data from images on the site.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so you don’t have to re-enter your details when leaving 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 also set up cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days; screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, a cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you edited. It 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 as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content—especially if you have an account and are logged in to that 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
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This helps us recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.
For users that register on our site (if any), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except their username). Site administrators can also view and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold, including anything you’ve provided. You can also request the erasure of personal data. This does not include data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
