Who we are
Our website address is: https://weekendspy.pro.
We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal data responsibly in compliance with New Zealand’s Privacy Act 2020, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where applicable, and other relevant international privacy laws.
Comments
In general, we try to keep all commenting features TURNED OFF, but there are some situations where we make an exception to enable active discussions and to communicate directly with users. When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data provided in the comments form (such as your name, email address, and comment content), as well as your IP address and browser user agent string. This information helps us detect and prevent spam and abuse.
An anonymized hash of your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you have a profile picture associated with that email. For details on how Gravatar handles your data, please refer to their privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if any) will be publicly visible alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, please be aware that images may contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download images and extract this location information. To protect your privacy, we recommend removing such metadata before uploading images.
