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.

Cookies

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 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

Suggested text: 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 IP address will be included in the reset email. The SMS consent obtained from your customers will not be shared, sold, or disclosed with any third party or affiliate.

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.

CONSENT STRING
A consent string is a string of characters that encodes information about user consent for
the collection and usage of personal data for online advertising purposes. Your consent
string contributes to your compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
Whether you need a consent string may depend on your location and the laws that apply to
your business. If you operate in the European Union or California and are collecting and
using personal data for online advertising purposes, you may need to obtain user consent
and use a consent string to store and convey this information. It is advisable to consult a

legal expert to determine the specific requirements that apply to your business. However, to
utilize the Pearl Diver service, we required this out of an abundance of caution.
How you add a consent string to your website varies depending on where you host your
website. Different hosts have different ways to add a consent string, either through an
inbuilt function they already offer or a recommended plugin they recommend implementing
with their software. You can also utilize a third-party software to run and manage consent
strings. We recommend discussing options with us directly, or discussing with an IT or
development contact who was involved with your website management.
