Privacy Policy

Who We Are

Welcome to our website, NeighborFeedbackApplebees.

Comments

When you share your thoughts through comments on our platform, we gather the information displayed in the comment form. Additionally, to combat spam, we collect your IP address and your browser’s user agent string.

We use a unique, anonymized string derived from your email address (known as a hash) which might be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are a user. The privacy policy of Gravatar is accessible here. Once your comment is approved, your Gravatar profile picture becomes publicly visible alongside your comment.

Media

For images you upload to our site, we advise against including images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Be aware that visitors can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

We offer the option to save your name, email, and website in cookies when you leave a comment. These cookies are for your convenience, so you don’t have to refill your details for future comments. These cookies remain for one year.

Visiting our login page triggers a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie doesn’t contain personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

Upon logging in, we set cookies to store your login information and display choices. Login cookies last two days, while screen options cookies last a year. If you choose “Remember Me,” your login persists for two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.

Editing or publishing an article results in an additional cookie in your browser. This cookie, which holds no personal data, merely signifies the post ID of the article you edited and expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Our site includes embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). This content from other websites behaves exactly as if you visited those websites directly.

These websites may gather data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their content, including tracking your interactions if you’re logged in to those websites.

Data Sharing

In cases like password reset requests, your IP address is included in the reset email.

Data Retention

Comments and their associated metadata are retained indefinitely. This helps us to automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments, avoiding them being held in a moderation queue.

For registered users, we store the personal information they provide in their profile. All users can access, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (username changes are not possible). Website administrators can also view and edit that information.

Your Data Rights

If you have an account or have left comments on our site, you can request an export file of the personal data we hold about you, including data you’ve provided. You can also request the deletion of any personal data we hold. This excludes data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Data Processing

Comments from visitors may be vetted through an automated spam detection service.
