Who We Are
Welcome to USA Food Blog. Our website address is:
https://usafoodblog.com.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the information displayed in the comment form (such as name, email, and website), along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymized string (a “hash”) created from your email address may be sent to Gravatar to determine if you’re using the Gravatar service. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy can be found here. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public next to your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the site, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can view and download images and extract any location metadata they contain.
Cookies
If you leave a comment, you can opt-in to save your name, email, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience and last for one year.
Upon visiting the login page, we set a temporary cookie to check whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal information and is discarded at the end of your session.
When you log in, we set cookies to store your login status and screen display preferences. Login cookies last two days; screen options cookies last one year. If you enable “Remember Me,” your login remains active for up to two weeks. Logging out will remove the login cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, another cookie will be added (containing the post ID of the article you edited). This cookie expires after one day and contains no personal data.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Our articles may include embedded content (for example, videos, images, or articles). Embedded content behaves as if you visited the other website directly — those sites may collect data about you, use cookies, implement third-party tracking, and monitor how you interact with the embedded content, especially if you’re logged into their site.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How Long We Retain Your Data
Comments and their metadata are stored indefinitely so that we can automatically approve follow-up comments instead of holding them in the moderation queue.
If you register on our site, we store the personal information you provide in your user profile. You are free to view, modify, or delete your personal information at any time (note: changing your username is not permitted). Site administrators can also view and modify this information.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you may request:
- A downloadable export of the personal data we hold about you, including data you have provided to us.
- The erasure of any personal data we hold about you, except for data we are legally obligated to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be screened through an automated spam detection service.
