Who we are
Our website address is https://columbineaesthetics.com. Columbine Aesthetics is committed to maintaining the privacy and protection of all visitors and users of our website. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of personal data we collect, how we process this information, and the measures we take to safeguard your data. By using our website, you consent to the data practices described in this policy.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect 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 on our website. We do not store or process your personal data beyond what is required for comment display and spam detection purposes.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Embedded location data can provide specific geographic information about where a photo was taken. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website. By uploading images to our site, you agree that Columbine Aesthetics is not responsible for any misuse of this information by third parties. Removing EXIF data from images is recommended for your privacy and security before uploading them.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit our website. They help us provide a better user experience and improve the functionality of our site.
Comment Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
Login Cookies
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, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your 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. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
Content Cookies
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
You can control the use of cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of certain features on our website.
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 same way as if the visitor has visited the other website directly. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of external websites, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.
Who do we share your data with
Columbine Aesthetics does not sell, rent, or lease your personal data to third parties. We only share your data with third-party service providers to the extent necessary for processing purposes, such as hosting, spam detection, and other essential website functionalities. For example, if you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security verification purposes. We also use automated tools to analyze visitor behavior and improve our site experience, but these tools do not collect personal identifying information.
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 any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. For users who 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. We retain this data for as long as necessary to provide you with our services, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
What rights do you have over your data?
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. 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. To make such requests, please contact us using the contact information provided on our website.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. We utilize this service to help protect our website from fraudulent or harmful activity. The information shared with this service may include your IP address and other metadata to identify spam behavior effectively.
Data Security Measures
Columbine Aesthetics takes your data security seriously. We employ industry-standard security measures, including encryption, secure socket layer (SSL) technology, and regular security assessments to protect the personal data we collect from unauthorized access, disclosure, or alteration. Our security practices are designed to safeguard your data and provide peace of mind when using our website.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your data.
