Who we are
We at Total Fishing Gear respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and share your personal data when you use our website total-fishing-gear.co.uk. By using our website, you consent to our privacy policy.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our website, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
Media
If you upload images to our 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.
Cookies
Our website uses cookies to improve your experience and to analyse website traffic. Cookies are small data files that are placed on your device when you visit our website. You can control the use of cookies through your browser settings. By using our website, you consent to our use of 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
Articles on our website may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.) from other websites. 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
We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties. We may share your personal data with service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as website hosting, data analysis, and customer service. We require these service providers to use your personal data only for the purposes for which it was provided and to protect your personal data in accordance with this privacy policy.
How long we retain your data
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is 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 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
You have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you, and to ask that your personal data be corrected, updated, or deleted. You also have the right to object to the processing of your personal data, to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data, and to receive a copy of your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format.
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.
Where your data is sent
Your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries other than the country in which you are resident. These countries may have data protection laws that are different from the laws of your country.
We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your personal data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy. By using our website, you consent to the transfer of your personal data to countries outside of your country of residence.
