Privacy policy

Who We Are

Our website address is: https://www.roscoe.co/. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring your personal data is handled securely and transparently.

 

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form. To help prevent spam, we also collect the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you use it. You can review the Gravatar privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once we approve your comment, your profile picture will be publicly visible alongside your comment.

 

Media

If you upload images to our website, you should avoid uploading images that include embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Other visitors to the website can download these images and extract their location data.

 

Cookies

To make your experience more convenient, we use cookies in the following ways:

  • Comments: If you leave a comment, you can opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. This saves you from re-entering your details next time. These cookies last for one year.

  • Login Page: If you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.

  • Account Login: When you log in, we set up cookies to save your login info and screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.

  • Publishing/Editing: If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is saved in your browser. This contains no personal data, simply tracks the post ID of the article you edited, and expires after 24 hours.

 

Embedded Content From Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you visited the other website directly.

These websites may:

  • Collect data about you.

  • Use their own cookies.

  • Embed additional third-party tracking.

  • Monitor your interaction with that embedded content, especially if you have an account and are logged into that website.

 

Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell your data. However, data sharing occurs in specific technical scenarios:

  • Password Resets: If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

  • Spam Protection: Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

 

How Long We Retain Your Data

  • Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

  • Registered Users: For users who register on our website, we 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.

 

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you have the right to:

  • Request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us.

  • Request that we erase any personal data we hold about you.

Note: This does not include any data we are legally, administratively, or securely obligated to retain.
