This Privacy Policy explains what information Coffee Treasures collects when you visit https://thecoffeetreasures.com, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using this website, you agree to the practices described here.
Who We Are
Coffee Treasures is a coffee blog publishing brewing guides, honest machine reviews, recipes, tips and articles about coffee and health. This website is operated by the Coffee Treasures team.
Information We Collect
We collect only the information needed to run and improve the site. This may include: information you provide through our contact form, such as your name, email address and message; information you provide if you leave a comment, such as your name, email address and website, if you choose to provide one, together with the comment itself; and limited technical information collected automatically, such as your IP address, browser type and pages visited, which may be recorded in server logs and by analytics or security tools.
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 with spam detection. An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. After approval of your comment, your profile picture may be visible to the public in the context of your comment. Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Contact Form
If you use our contact form, the details you enter are used only to read and reply to your message. We do not publish your email address, and we do not add you to a mailing list unless you separately ask us to do so.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included, as visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
Cookies are small files stored on your device that help a website work and remember your preferences. 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 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 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 one day. We may also use cookies for analytics, site performance and security. You can control cookies through your browser settings, although blocking some cookies may affect how the site works.
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 exact same way as if you had 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.
Affiliate Links
Some links on this site are affiliate links, as explained in our Affiliate Disclosure. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, the retailer may set cookies or collect information under its own privacy policy in order to track the referral and pay a commission. Coffee Treasures does not receive your payment details from those retailers. Please see our Affiliate Disclosure for more information.
Who We Share Your Data With
We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited information with trusted service providers that help us run the site, such as hosting, security, spam detection and email delivery providers, and with affiliate networks and retailers when you click their links. If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email, where applicable.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely, so we can recognise 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 own personal information at any time, except that they cannot change their username. Website administrators can also see and edit that information. Contact form messages are retained only as long as needed to handle your enquiry.
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. To make a request, please contact us through our Contact Us page.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Data may also be processed by our hosting and service providers, which may be located in other countries. We take reasonable steps to protect your information when it is transferred or stored.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be published on this page with a new “Last updated” date.
