Introduction

Embrace Greens (“we“, “us“, or “our“) is committed to protecting the privacy of visitors to our website and customers who use our services. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, how long we retain it, and the choices you have regarding your information. By using our website or services you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

Who we are

Our website address is: https://embracegreens.com

Information we collect

We collect information you provide directly and information collected automatically when you use our website.

Information you provide directly

  • Contact details submitted through forms or the contact page.
  • Account information if you register on the site, including username and profile information.
  • Comments and other content you post on the site.
  • Any other information you choose to provide when you contact us or request services.

Information collected automatically

  • Log data such as IP address, browser type, pages visited, and timestamps.
  • Cookies and similar tracking technologies.
  • Other technical data needed to operate and secure the site.

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 at 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, 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.

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 you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies last for one year.
  • If you visit our login page, we 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 set cookies to save your login information and screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out, the login cookies are removed.
  • If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is saved that indicates the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content such as videos, images, or articles. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you visited the other website directly. Those 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 that website.

Who we share your data with

We share personal data only as necessary to provide services, comply with legal obligations, or protect our rights. Examples include:

  • Service providers who perform functions on our behalf such as hosting, email delivery, analytics, and payment processing.
  • Third parties when required by law or to respond to lawful requests and legal process.
  • When you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. We may transfer personal data to service providers and partners located in other countries for processing. When we do so we take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information.

How long we retain your data

  • If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely so we can recognize and approve any follow‑up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
  • For users who register on our website, we 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.
  • We retain other personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law.

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 data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the personal information we collect. No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

International transfers

Because we operate internationally, personal data may be transferred to, stored, and processed in countries other than your country of residence. When we transfer personal data across borders we take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information.

Children

Our website and services are not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe we have collected such information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.

Changes to this privacy policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
