Brantford Towing Privacy Policy

Who We Are

Our website address is: https://brantfordtowing.ca. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information when you interact with our website.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our website, we collect the data shown in the comment form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to aid in spam detection.

We may also send an anonymized hash created from your email address to the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. You can review their privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy. After comment approval, your profile picture may appear publicly next to your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors can download and extract location data from any images displayed on the site.

Cookies

If you leave a comment, you may opt to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies will persist for one year.

Visiting our login page sets a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies—this cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when your browser is closed.

When you log in:

  • Login cookies are stored for 2 days.
  • Screen display preference cookies last for 1 year.
  • If “Remember Me” is selected, login persists for 2 weeks.
  • Logging out removes all login cookies.

Editing or publishing an article sets a cookie containing the post ID, which expires after 1 day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, or other articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves the same way as if you visited that external site directly.

These websites may:

  • Collect data about you,
  • Use cookies,
  • Embed third-party tracking,
  • Monitor your interaction with the embedded content, especially if you’re logged into that website.

Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email for security and verification purposes.

Data Retention

  • Comments: If you leave a comment, it and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments.
  • Registered Users: If applicable, we store the personal information of users who register on our site in their user profiles. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information (except usernames). Website administrators can also access and update this information.

Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account or have left comments on this site, you may request:

  • An exported file of the personal data we hold about you,
  • The deletion of your personal data.

This does not include any data we are obliged to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be processed through an automated spam detection service.

Let me know if you’d like this formatted as a downloadable PDF, added to your website’s WordPress page, or customized further (e.g., adding a cookie consent banner policy, or GDPR compliance language).
