Who we are
Our website address is: https://elderna.com.
What data we collect and why
We do not directly collect personal data from visitors. However, third-party services, such as WordPress (via plugins and comments) and NameCheap (our hosting provider), may collect data such as IP addresses, browser user agent strings, and cookies for functionality like spam detection, security, and analytics. This data may be collected for ensuring the site runs smoothly and providing user features.
Comments
When visitors leave comments, WordPress collects the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
When you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will 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.
When you log in, WordPress sets up cookies to save your login information and screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. When you log out, the login cookies are removed.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you had visited the other website. These websites may collect data, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their content.

How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For registered users, we store the personal information provided in the user profile. Users can see, edit, or delete their personal information (except for usernames). Website administrators can also view and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
