Privacy Policy
Who We Are
Our website address is: https://www.lockettsautocare.com.
What Personal Data We Collect and Why
Comments: When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comments form, the visitor’s IP address, and browser user agent string to help spam detection. An anonymized string from your email may be provided to the Gravatar service. After approval, your profile picture is visible with your comment.
Media: If you upload images, avoid those with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract location data from images on the website.
Cookies: If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience, lasting one year. We also set temporary cookies when you visit our login page to check if your browser accepts cookies. When you log in, we set cookies to save your login info and screen display choices. Login cookies last two days, screen options cookies last one year, and the “Remember Me” option keeps your login for two weeks. Editing or publishing an article adds a cookie with no personal data, which expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles may include embedded content like videos and articles. Embedded content behaves as if the visitor visited the other website, which may collect data, use cookies, and track interactions.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How Long We Retain Your Data
Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely for automatic follow-up approvals. For registered users, personal information in their profile is stored indefinitely. Users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for changing usernames. Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
Your Data Rights
If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of your personal data or request its deletion. This does not include data we must keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
