Who We Are
Welcome to TheGaitsOfChelle.com. We’re committed to ensuring the protection of your privacy and data security. In this policy, we explain how we collect, use, and protect your information.
Data Protection Officer
To ensure your data privacy, we’ve appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO) who can be reached at DataProtection@TheGaitsOfChelle.com for any data-related inquiries or concerns.
Comments
When you leave a comment on our site, we collect the information you provide in the comment form, along with your IP address and browser user agent string to prevent spam. In addition, we may use an anonymized hash of your email address for compatibility with the Gravatar service. You can find Gravatar’s privacy policy here. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes publicly visible in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to our website, please ensure they don’t contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to our site can access and extract location data from images on the website.
Cookies

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
