Privacy Policy

At JD Fay Vending, we respect your privacy and protect the personal data you share with us. This policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website.

Who We Are

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

Comments

When you leave a comment on our site, we collect the information shown in the comment form. We also track your IP address and browser user agent string to help us detect and block spam.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to verify if you use it. You can review the Gravatar privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once we approve your comment, your profile picture becomes visible to the public alongside your comment.

Media

If you upload images to our website, please ensure they do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download these images and extract your location data.

Cookies

To make your experience more convenient, you can choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies when leaving a comment. This ensures you do not have to refill your details for future comments. These cookies last for one year.

  • Login Page: If you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and disappears when you close your browser.

  • Account Login: When you log in, we set up cookies to save your login credentials and screen choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login persists for two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies automatically.

  • Content Editing: If you edit or publish an article, your browser saves an additional cookie. This cookie contains no personal data; it simply tracks the post ID of your article and expires after 24 hours.

Embedded Content From Other Websites

Our articles may feature embedded content (such as videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from third-party websites behaves exactly as if you visited those websites directly.

These external sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that content—especially if you have an account and are logged in to their website.

Data Sharing

We do not sell your data. However, if you request a password reset, the automated reset email will include your current IP address for security validation.

Data Retention

  • Comments: We retain comments and their metadata indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve your follow-up comments automatically, skipping the moderation queue.

  • Registered Users: For users who register on our website, we store the personal information provided in their user profile. You can view, edit, or delete your personal details at any time (except your username). Our website administrators can also view and update this information.

Your Data Rights

If you hold an account or have left comments on our site, you can request an exported file of the personal data we store about you, including any information you provided. You can also request that we erase your personal data. This layout excludes any data we must keep for administrative, legal, or security obligations.

Where We Send Your Data

We check visitor comments through an automated spam detection service to maintain site security.
