Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 09/08/2024

Thanks for visiting Forget-Me-Not Quail Farm. Your privacy matters to us, and while this isn’t the most exciting page on the site, it’s one of the most important. Here’s what you should know about how we handle your data.

Who We Are

This website is owned and operated by Forget-Me-Not Quail Farm of Maine.
Our website address is: https://forgetmenotquailfarm.com

What Personal Data We Collect (and Why)

Comments

When you leave a comment on a blog post, we collect the data shown in the form, plus your IP address and browser info to help filter spam.

We may also use the Gravatar service to check if you have a profile image associated with your email address. You can read their privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy

Media

If you upload images to the site, please avoid including location data (EXIF GPS) in the file. Visitors to the site can potentially download and extract that info.

Cookies

Like most websites, we use cookies to make your visit smoother:

  • If you comment, you can choose to save your name and email in cookies for next time. These last one year.
  • If you log in (if user accounts are enabled), we set temporary cookies to handle that process.
  • If you edit or publish a post, an extra cookie saves the post ID. It expires in 24 hours.

You can clear cookies in your browser settings at any time.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Some posts may include embedded content (like YouTube videos or Instagram posts). These work the same way as if you visited the third-party site directly, and those sites may collect data about you, track your interaction, and use cookies.

Who We Share Your Data With

We don’t sell your data—ever. The only time we share data is when necessary to fulfill a request (like sending a password reset email).
Comments may also be checked through an automated spam detection service.

How Long We Keep Your Info

  • Comments: If you leave a comment, it and its metadata stick around indefinitely so we can recognize follow-ups automatically.
  • Accounts: If you create an account (if enabled), your info is stored in your profile. You can view, edit, or delete it anytime—except your username.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you’ve left a comment or created an account, you can request an exported file of the personal data we’ve stored. You can also ask us to delete your data (except anything we’re required to keep for admin, legal, or security reasons).

To request access or deletion, please contact us here.

Where We Send Your Data

Visitor comments may be scanned through an automated spam detection tool to keep the site safe and clean.
