At Damascus Knife Crafts, accessible from https://damascusknifecrafts.com, the privacy of our visitors is one of our top priorities. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information collected and recorded by Damascus Knife Crafts and how we use it.

Who We Are

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

Comments

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 help with spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine if you’re using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract location data from images.

Cookies

  • Comments: If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies last for one year.
  • Login Cookies: 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.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, or articles). Embedded content behaves exactly as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites may collect data, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that content.

Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security purposes.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, both the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account or have left comments on this site, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold, excluding data we are obligated to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

By using our site, you hereby consent to our Privacy Policy and agree to its terms. For any further queries or concerns regarding your data, feel free to contact us through our website.
