Privacy Policy

Who We Are

Our website address is: https://chilledpints.com
ChilledPints.com is a platform dedicated to sharing engaging content, updates, and experiences related to our brand. Your privacy is important to us, and this section explains how we handle user data.


Comments

When visitors leave comments on ChilledPints.com, we collect the information shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent details. This data helps us detect and prevent spam.

An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you use it. The Gravatar privacy policy can be reviewed at Automattic’s website. Once your comment is approved, your profile image (if connected to Gravatar) will be publicly visible alongside your comment.


Media

If you upload images to ChilledPints.com, we recommend avoiding images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors may be able to download images from the site and extract any location data included in them.


Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are stored for your convenience, so you don’t have to re-enter your details for future comments. They remain active for one year.

When you visit our login page, a temporary cookie is set to check whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain personal information and is deleted once you close your browser.

When you log in, we set cookies to store your login details and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen preference cookies last for one year. Selecting “Remember Me” will keep you logged in for two weeks. Logging out will remove login cookies.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie does not store personal data and only identifies the post you edited. It expires after one day.


Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on ChilledPints.com may include embedded content such as videos, images, or articles from third-party websites. Embedded content behaves in the same way as if you visited the external website directly.

These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, apply third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content—especially if you are logged into those platforms.


Who We Share Your Data With

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


How Long We Retain Your Data

Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them for moderation.

For registered users (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 access and manage this information.


What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account on ChilledPints.com or have left comments, you may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. You may also request the deletion of your personal data. This does not include information we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.


Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be processed through automated spam detection services to maintain site security and content quality.
