Privacy Policy

Who we are

This is the website address where I share family, faith, fun, food and fitness with latina flavor as a Houston lifestyle and mommy blogger: https://www.thecoppeliamarie.com.

I’m the mom behind the blog, Coppelia Marie. You can contact me via email: Coppelia at Coppeliamarie dot com.

The content on this blog is shared from personal opinion and not to be taken as professional advice.

I occasionally receive compensation for services and/or products that I review on this site. The payments may come through affiliate marketing, sponsored posts or products offered in exchange for a review. You can learn more about affiliate marketing here. All opinions shared are always my own, and I strive to share the pros and cons with as much clarity as I can, similar to how one would share with a friend.

The bulk of this privacy policy was provided by WordPress. If you have any questions, please contact me via email: Coppelia at Coppeliamarie dot com.

What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Contact forms

As part of this privacy policy, it’s important for me to share with you that if you sign up on my site or use a contact form on my site, for example, to receive emails, your information gets stored in my email provider, Mailchimp’s account. By signing up or using a contact form, I am able to access that information as well as store it.

Here is a link to my email and contact form provider MailChimp’s Privacy Policy and Terms.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you have an account and you log in to this site, 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, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your 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. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, 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 this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Analytics

By default WordPress does not collect any analytics data. However, many web hosting accounts collect some anonymous analytics data. I personally use Google Analytics to track visitors and find out data that helps me provide and share my content in the best way possible.

Who we share your data with

If you enter a giveaway, we will share your contact information (name and email) with the contest sponsor so they are able to send you the prize. If you have any other questions about this, please let me know via email to Coppelia at Coppeliamarie dot com.

By default WordPress does not share any personal data with anyone.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), 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 we send your data

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