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.
Media
If you upload images to the website, 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.
Newsletters
All Mama Loves Phuket readers are given the option to subscribe to our email newsletter. In doing so we may collect and store personal information from you, such as your name and email address. Newsletters sent may contain tracking pixels. The pixel is embedded in emails and allows an analysis of the success of online marketing campaigns.
Because of these tracking pixels, we may see if and when you open an email and which links within the email you click. This also allows us to adapt the content of future newsletters to the interests of the user. This behavior will not be passed on to third parties. You can request to be removed from our list at any time by following the unsubscribe links in the emails or contacting us at mamalovesphuket@gmail.com.
Mama Loves Phuket emails are serviced by Mailchimp and you can refer to their privacy policy for further information.
