Introduction
We at Spanish Coast Properties value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of data we collect, how we use it, and who we share it with. Our website address is: https://spanishcoastproperties.com.
Comments
When you leave a comment on our site, we collect the information you provide in the comments form, as well as your IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. If you have a Gravatar account, an anonymized string created from your email address (called a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy can be found at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to our website, we recommend avoiding images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) to protect your privacy. Website visitors can download and extract location data from images on the site.
Cookies
When you leave a comment, you may opt to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience, so you don’t have to re-enter your details when leaving another comment. They will last 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 you close your browser. Upon logging in, we also set 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.
Editing or publishing an article saves an additional cookie in your browser, which includes no personal data and only indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Our site may feature embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles) from other websites, which behaves as if you visited those websites directly. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to those websites.
Data Sharing
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
Data Retention
We retain comments and their metadata indefinitely to recognize and automatically approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue. For users who register on our website, we store the personal information provided in their user profiles. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for changing their usernames). Website administrators can also access and edit this information.
Your Data Rights
If you have an account or have left comments on our site, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you’ve provided to us. You can also request the erasure of your personal data, excluding any data we’re required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Data Transfers
Visitor comments may be processed through an automated spam detection service.
