Privacy Policy

Who We Are

Welcome to my website! My name is Lara Roxana Popa, and I’m a content creator and entrepreneur. I am committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about how your personal data is collected, used, and shared. This Privacy Policy explains how I handle your information when you visit my website.

What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It

1. Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect:

  • The data shown in the comments form (e.g., name, email, and comment content).
  • The visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect and prevent spam.

Additionally:

  • An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it.
  • The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture (if any) will be visible to the public alongside your comment.

2. Cookies

If you leave a comment on the 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.

3. Analytics

We may collect anonymous data about your visit, such as:

  • Your IP address.
  • The pages you visit and the time spent on the site.
    This helps us analyze traffic and improve the website experience.

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 any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
  • Analytics Data: Anonymous analytics data is retained for up to 12 months for website improvement purposes.

Who We Share Your Data With

We value your privacy and rarely share your data. However, in limited cases, data may be shared:

  • Third-party apps and tools: For functionality (e.g., spam detection or analytics), we may share limited data with trusted third-party services.
  • Gravatar Service: If you post a comment and use a Gravatar profile, your anonymized email hash will be shared with Gravatar per its privacy policy.

We never sell your personal data.

Your Rights Over Your Data

Under applicable laws, you may have the following rights regarding your data:

  • Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Correction: Request corrections to inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Erasure: Request that we delete your personal data, where applicable.
  • Object to Processing: Restrict or object to certain types of data processing.
  • Data Portability: Receive your data in a commonly used, machine-readable format.

To exercise these rights, please contact me at lararoxanapopa@gmail.com Note that we may need to verify your identity before fulfilling your request.

How We Protect Your Data

I take the security of your personal data seriously. Measures include:

  • Using secure servers and encryption to store your data.
  • Limiting access to your data to authorized personnel only.
  • Regularly updating and monitoring my website for vulnerabilities or breaches.

While no system is 100% secure, I work hard to safeguard your information and prevent unauthorized access.

Industry Regulatory Disclosure Requirements

If required by law, I may disclose your information to comply with legal obligations, enforce my policies, or protect my rights. This includes instances where disclosure is necessary to safeguard against fraud or other unlawful activity.

Thank you for trusting me with your data. If you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy, feel free to reach out via lararoxanapopa@gmail.com
