Welcome to Blessed Dish (accessible at https://blesseddish.com). Your privacy is very important to us, and we are committed to protecting the personal data you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have over your data.
Who We Are
Our website address is: https://blesseddish.com. We are dedicated to sharing inspirational recipes and culinary insights while fostering a community of food lovers. This policy applies to all information collected through our site and any related services.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist with spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also known as a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if using Gravatar) will be visible publicly alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to Blessed Dish, please avoid including images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) as these may expose your location. Visitors can download and extract any embedded location data from images posted on our site.
Cookies
General Comments Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so you do not have to re-enter your details when leaving another comment. These cookies will remain for one year.
Login & Editor Cookies
- Login Page: When you visit our login page, we 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.
- After Login: When you log in, several cookies are set to save your login information and screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, while screen options cookies persist for one year. Selecting “Remember Me” will keep your login active for two weeks. Logging out will remove these login cookies.
- Article Editing: If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is saved in your browser. This cookie does not contain personal data; it simply records the post ID of the article you just edited and expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on Blessed Dish may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you visited the other website directly. These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including if you are logged in to those websites.
Who We Share Your Data With
Your privacy is paramount at Blessed Dish. We do not share your personal data with third parties except in limited circumstances such as:
- Password Reset Requests: If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
- Legal or Administrative Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
How Long We Retain Your Data
- Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and automatically approve any follow-up comments, rather than holding them in a moderation queue.
- User Accounts: For users who register on our site, we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (with the exception of their username). Website administrators also have the ability to access and edit this information.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on our 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 may also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you, though this does not include any data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments on Blessed Dish may be processed through an automated spam detection service to help protect the site from spam. This service may transfer your data to external servers for analysis.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to update or change our Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting the personal information we collect.
