This is the official website of Atlantic Valeting, based in Burgess Hill, West Sussex, UK.

What Personal Data We Collect and Why

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

An anonymised string (hash) generated from your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. You can view Gravatar’s privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture may be visible to the public alongside your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors to the site may be able to extract this information.

Contact Forms

We do not share your contact details or any messages submitted through our contact forms with third parties, unless you have given explicit consent.

Cookies

  • If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you don’t have to fill in your details again. These cookies last for one year.

  • If you have an account and log in to the site, a temporary cookie is set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.

  • Upon logging in, several cookies are set to store your login credentials and screen display preferences:

    • Login cookies last for two days.

    • Screen options cookies last for one year.

    • If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks.

    • Logging out removes login cookies.

  • When you edit or publish a post, a cookie is stored in your browser containing the post ID. It contains no personal data and expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, or articles). Embedded content behaves as if you had visited the originating website directly. These sites may collect data, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interactions with that content — especially if you are logged in to those sites.

How Long We Retain Your Data

  • If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely to help us recognise and automatically approve follow-up comments.

  • For users who register on our site (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Website administrators can also view and edit this information.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you’ve provided. You may also request that we delete your personal data. This excludes any data we must retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked using an automated spam detection service.
