Privacy Policy
Who We Are
Our website address is: https://www.gardentoolswholesale.com.
This page explains how visitor information is collected, used, and protected when you access or interact with our website.
Comments and User Data
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to support spam detection and platform security.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check whether you are using it. The Gravatar privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After comment approval, your profile image becomes visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media Uploads
If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading images that include embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors may download images from the website and extract location data if it exists.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on the site, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for convenience so you do not need to re-enter details when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.
When visiting the login page, a temporary cookie is set to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, additional cookies are created to store login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen options cookies last for one year. If “Remember Me” is selected, login persists for two weeks. Logging out removes login cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is stored in your browser. It contains no personal data and only records the post ID of the edited article. It expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this website may include embedded content such as videos, images, or articles. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if the visitor has directly visited those websites.
These external websites may collect data, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with embedded content, including tracking interactions if you are logged into those platforms.
Data Sharing
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security verification purposes.
Data Retention
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows automatic approval of follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For registered users, personal information stored in user profiles can be viewed, edited, or deleted at any time (except username changes). Website administrators may also access and manage this information.
Your Data Rights
If you have an account or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data held about you, including any data you have provided. You may also request deletion of personal data, excluding data required for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service to maintain website security and content quality.
