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.

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 tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Analytics
Who we share your data with
We do not sell or share your personal data with third-party entities for their marketing purposes. However, certain data may be shared with third parties under the following circumstances:
Google Services: We utilize Google Analytics, Google Search Console, and Google AdSense, sharing anonymized user data to analyze website traffic patterns, optimize search engine presence, and display relevant advertisements.
Gravatar (Automattic): If users choose to interact with our WordPress blog via comments and have a Gravatar account, the email address may be shared with Gravatar to display the user’s profile picture next to their comments.
Legal Obligations: In certain situations, we may be required to share data in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including meeting national security or law enforcement requirements.
Service Providers: Occasionally, we may employ third-party companies and individuals due to the following reasons: to facilitate our service; to provide the service on our behalf; to perform service-related services; or to assist us in analyzing how our service is used. We want to inform our service users that these third parties have access to your Personal Information. The reason is to perform the tasks assigned to them on our behalf. However, they are obligated not to disclose or use the information for any other purpose.
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.

Additional information
How we protect your data
We ensure the protection of your data by employing best practices such as using secure networks, encryption, and other technological security measures. Our website is SSL certified to ensure that any data transferred between your web browser and our web server is secure. Additionally, access to personal data is restricted to only those employees, agents, and contractors who have specific authorization.
What data breach procedures we have in place
In the unfortunate event of a data breach, we will take immediate steps to mitigate the impact and secure our systems. Affected individuals and relevant regulatory bodies will be notified within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, as per legal requirements. Our team will work diligently to investigate, resolve, and prevent any future breaches, as well as work with any affected parties to manage the situation.
What third parties we receive data from
We receive data from Google Analytics to understand our website traffic and user interactions, Google AdSense to display relevant advertisements to our users, and Google Search Console to understand our website’s presence in Google Search results. Google Fonts are utilized for website typography and Gravatars (via WordPress) are utilized for displaying user images in comments, if applicable.
What automated decision making and/or profiling we do with user data
We utilize Google Analytics to gain insights into user behavior and potentially guide website improvements, but we do not use this data for automated decision-making or profiling. The user data from Google Analytics is anonymized and does not allow for the personal identification of individual users.
Industry regulatory disclosure requirements
As our blog is in the realm of discussing beverages and potentially referring to alcoholic content in mocktails, we ensure that our content is compliant with regional regulations regarding discussions of alcohol. Furthermore, we adhere to data protection regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for European users, and provide clear and accessible privacy policies, ensuring transparency about the use of personal data.
