Privacy Policy

Who we are:

Welcome to Zen Stones! We handcraft each natural soap with love and respect for your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website at https://zenstones.in

Comments:

When you leave comments on our site, we collect the information you share in the comment form, including your IP address and browser details to help us detect spam. Additionally, an anonymized string created from your email address, known as a hash, may be sent to the Gravatar service to see if you’re using it. You can find the Gravatar service’s privacy policy here: After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible alongside your comment.

Media:

Please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) when uploading images to our website. Visitors can download and extract any location information from images on our website.

Cookies:

If you leave a comment on our site, you can choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so you don’t need to fill in your details again when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.

We also use temporary cookies to check if your browser accepts cookies when you visit our login page. These cookies don’t contain any personal data and are discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we set up several cookies to remember your login information and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. Choosing “Remember Me” keeps you logged in for two weeks. Logging out of your account will remove the login cookies.

Editing or publishing an article will save an additional cookie to your browser. This cookie doesn’t contain personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites:

Articles on our site may include embedded content like videos, images, or articles. This embedded content behaves similarly to how it would on the original website. These websites may collect your data, use cookies, embed additional tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

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, allowing for automatic recognition and approval of follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For registered users, we also store the personal information they provide in their user profiles. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data:

If you have an account on our site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you provided. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where your data is sent:

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

We are committed to protecting your privacy.

We take the security of your personal information seriously and implement appropriate measures to protect it from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, please remember that no online environment is completely secure.
