Who We Are
Our website address is: https://zenmindsanctuary.com.
At ZenMindSanctuary.com, your privacy and peace of mind are important to us. Below you’ll find details about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information while you’re engaging with our mindful content and community.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help us detect and prevent spam.
An anonymized string (also known as a hash) created from your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to determine if you’re using it. You can view the Gravatar privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to ZenMindSanctuary.com, please avoid including embedded location data (such as EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract this information from images.
Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience. These cookies last for one year.
When you visit our login page, a temporary cookie is set to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal information and is deleted when you close your browser.
Upon logging in, we set additional cookies to save your login credentials and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen settings cookies last for one year. Selecting “Remember Me” extends your login for two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.
Editing or publishing an article will also save a cookie in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on ZenMindSanctuary.com may include embedded content (such as videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other sites behaves the same as if you were visiting the original site directly.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, include third-party tracking, and monitor your interactions with the embedded content—especially if you’re logged in to those external services.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for verification purposes.
How Long We Retain Your Data
When you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments without delay.
If you register an account on ZenMindSanctuary.com (if applicable), your personal profile information is stored securely. You can view, edit, or delete this information anytime—except for your username. Site administrators may also access and edit user information.
Your Data Rights
If you have an account or have left comments, you may request an exported file of your personal data held on our site. You can also ask us to delete any personal data we retain—except data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be scanned through an automated spam detection system to ensure a safe and respectful environment for all.
