Welcome to Online Dispensary (https://onlinedispensary.org), where we value your privacy and are committed to ensuring the security of your personal information. In this privacy policy, we’ll outline the details about the data we collect and how we handle it.
Comment Data Collection
When visitors leave comments on our website, we collect the information provided in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to aid in spam detection.
Gravatar Service
An anonymized string generated from your email address (hashed) may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible alongside your comment for public viewing.
Media Uploads
If you upload images to our website, please avoid including location data (EXIF GPS) in the images, as other website visitors can potentially extract this information from the images.
Cookies Usage
- When you leave a comment on our site, you can choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are designed for your convenience and prevent you from having to re-enter your details each time you leave a comment. They will remain active for one year.
- If you access our login page, a temporary cookie is set to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie doesn’t contain personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
- Upon logging in, we will establish several cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies remain valid for two days, while screen options cookies are stored for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out of your account will remove the login cookies.
- If you edit or publish an article, a cookie will be saved in your browser, containing no personal data and indicating the post ID of the edited article. This cookie expires after 1 day.
Embedded Content
Our articles may include embedded content from other websites, such as videos, images, and articles. Embedded content from external sites functions in the same way as if you were visiting those sites directly. These external websites may collect data, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their embedded content. This monitoring includes tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Data Sharing
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
Data Retention
- Comments and their associated metadata are retained indefinitely to facilitate the automatic approval of follow-up comments instead of placing them in a moderation queue.
- For users who register on our website, any personal information provided in their user profile is stored. Users have the ability to view, edit, or delete their personal information, with the exception of changing their username. Website administrators also have access to view and edit this information.
Data Rights
If you have an account on our site or have left comments, you have the right to request an exported file containing the personal data that we hold, including any data you have provided. Additionally, you can request the erasure of your personal data, excluding data we are legally obligated to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Data Transfer
Visitor comments may be subject to automated spam detection services.
