Privacy Policy

Our website, fuls.org.uk, is dedicated to ensuring a secure and enjoyable experience for our visitors. Here’s a summary of our information handling practices:

Comments

When you leave a comment on our website, we collect the details you provide, such as your IP address and browser user agent string. This information is important for detecting and filtering spam. If your email is associated with a profile picture service, we may create an anonymized hash to confirm your image. Once your comment is approved, any profile picture linked to your account will be displayed alongside it.

Media

If you upload images to our site, we advise you to remove any embedded location data (such as EXIF GPS information). Visitors to the site might be able to extract this location data from your uploaded images.

Cookies

Comment Cookies
When you post a comment, you have the option to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience. This will save you from re-entering these details the next time you comment. These cookies are kept for one year.

Login Cookies
When you visit our login page, a temporary cookie is set to check if your browser supports cookies. This cookie contains no personal information and is deleted when you close the browser. After logging in, additional cookies are created to store your login details and display preferences. Login cookies remain active for two days, while preference cookies last for one year. If you select the “Remember Me” option, your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out will delete these cookies.

Post Edit Cookies
If you edit or publish a post, an additional cookie is stored in your browser, containing the post ID of the article you modified. This cookie expires after one day.

Embedded Content from External Sites

Some content on our website may include embedded elements, such as videos or images, from external sites. These external sites behave as if you were visiting them directly. They may collect data about you, use cookies, track your activity, and monitor your interactions with the embedded content, especially if you are logged into those external platforms.

Data Sharing

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the email sent for verification purposes.

Data Retention

We store comments and their metadata indefinitely to facilitate quicker approval of follow-up comments. For registered users, personal information provided in their profiles is also retained. You can access, modify, or delete your personal data at any time, with the exception of your username. Website administrators also have access to and can modify this data as needed.

Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account or have left comments on our website, you can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. You also have the right to request the deletion of your personal data, although we may need to retain certain information for legal, administrative, or security purposes.

Data Processing

Comments from visitors may be processed through an automated spam detection service.
