At My Gut is Telling Me (https://mygutistellingme.com), your privacy is critically important to us. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information we collect, how we use it, and the measures we take to protect your information.

Who We Are

Our website address is: https://mygutistellingme.com.

Comments

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

An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. The Gravatar service Privacy Policy is available at: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from those images.

Cookies

  • Comments: If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience, so you don’t have to fill in your details again for future comments. These cookies last for one year.
  • Login: If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
    • When you log in, cookies are set to save your login details and screen preferences. Login cookies last two days, while screen preference cookies last one year. Selecting “Remember Me” keeps your login active for two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.
    • If you edit or publish an article, a cookie is saved in your browser. It contains the post ID of the article and expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content behaves as if you visited the other website.
These websites may:

  • Collect data about you,
  • Use cookies,
  • Embed additional third-party tracking, and
  • Monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking if you’re logged into their website.

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: Comments and metadata are retained indefinitely to recognize and approve follow-ups automatically instead of moderating them.
  • Registered Users: For users who register on our site (if applicable), we store personal information in their user profiles. Users can see, edit, or delete their 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:

  1. An exported file of the personal data we hold about you.
  2. The deletion of any personal data we hold about you.

This excludes data retained for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data is Sent

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