Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form (such as name and comment text), along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This information helps us detect and prevent spam.
An anonymized string (also called a hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. You can review the Gravatar service’s privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if available from Gravatar) will be visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website (e.g., in comments or via a form), please avoid uploading images that contain 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 choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience, so you do not have to fill in your details again when leaving 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 (if user registration is enabled), we will set up several cookies to save your login information and 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. Logging out of your account will remove the login cookies.
If you edit or publish an article (applicable to site contributors or administrators), 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.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on Chongqing Travels may include embedded content (e.g., videos from YouTube, images from photo-sharing sites, maps, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you had visited the other website directly.
These third-party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content. This includes tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security verification.
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and automatically approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them for moderation.
For users that register on our website (if applicable), 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.
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.
Where your data is sent
As mentioned, visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Other than this and necessary third-party services for website functionality (such as our hosting provider), we do not routinely share your personal data.
