Privacy Policy

Who we are

Our website address is: https://heartsoulandmind.org.

Comments

To comment on this site, you must be a registered and verified user. We do not accept comments from guests.

When you leave a comment, we collect the data associated with your user profile, which includes your User ID, Display Name, and the comment content itself. Your profile picture (avatar) will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website (for example, as a profile avatar), 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.

Cookies

We use a minimal number of cookies for site functionality.

If you visit our login page, 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 set an essential session cookie (`PHPSESSID`) to keep you logged in. This cookie is technical, contains no personal data, and is typically deleted when you close your browser. It does not track you across other sites.

Our login and registration pages also use Google reCAPTCHA, which may set its own cookies. For more information, please see the Google Privacy Policy.

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.

Who we share your data with

If you request a password reset, your email address is used to send you a unique reset link. We do not share your personal data with third-party marketers.

We do use Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise on our login and registration pages to prevent spam and abuse. Your interaction with the reCAPTCHA service is subject to the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.

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, we store the personal information they provide in their user profile (such as username, display name, and email address). All users can see or edit their personal information at any time from their profile page (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 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.

You may also delete your own profile from your "Edit My Profile" page, provided you are not an administrator and do not have any posts attributed to your account.
