Privacy Policy
Effective Date: April 2024
1. Who We Are
DROW Wear Ltd (“we”, “us”, “our”) is a company registered in England & Wales. Our website address is: https://www.drowwear.com. We are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy.
2. What Data We Collect
Comments: When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service Privacy Policy is available here: 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, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies:
- If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are 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 1 day.
Analytics: We use Google Analytics (GA4) and other similar tools to collect data on how visitors use our website. This includes information about pages viewed, time spent on the site, and referral sources. This data is anonymised and does not identify individual users.
3. 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 in the exact same way as if the visitor has 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.
4. Who We Share Your Data With
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal data to outside parties, except in the following circumstances:
- Service Providers: We may share your data with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential.
- Legal Obligations: We may disclose your information if required by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities.
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
5. How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website, 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.
6. What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on this 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.
7. Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Additionally, we use third-party tools such as Google Analytics and social media pixels (e.g., Facebook Pixel) which may send anonymised data outside the UK or European Economic Area (EEA). We ensure that such transfers comply with data protection laws.
8. Data Security
We implement appropriate security measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Our website uses SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology to encrypt your data during transmission.
9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page, and where appropriate, notified to you by email. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your data.
