1. Who We Are

Our website address is: https://defendhaven.com

2. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

Media: If you upload images to our website, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors can download and extract this information.

Non-Personal Information: Browser type, IP address, pages visited, and other analytics data collected through cookies and tracking technologies.

Comments: When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, the visitor’s IP address, and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. An anonymized string (hash) from your email may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar privacy policy is available here.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use cookies to enhance user experience and analyze website traffic. You can adjust your browser settings to disable cookies, but this may impact site functionality.

  • If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies last for one year.
  • A temporary cookie is set when visiting our login page to check if your browser accepts cookies. This is discarded upon closing the browser.
  • Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. Selecting “Remember Me” extends login persistence for two weeks. Logging out removes login cookies.
  • Editing or publishing an article will store an additional cookie with no personal data, simply indicating the post ID. It expires after one day.

5. Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if the visitor has visited the external site. These sites may collect data, use cookies, and track interactions.

6. Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

7. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data. However, no online transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. How Long We Retain Your Data

  • Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.
  • Registered users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except changing their username). Website administrators can also edit user information.

If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You can also request data deletion, excluding any data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
