Privacy Policy

  Who we are:
Our website address is: https://www.puntacanatalk.com. This website is operated by and registered under Punta Cana Hub.

  What personal data we collect and why we collect it:

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

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

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

 Contact forms and Newsletters.
When you fill out a contact form or subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your name, email address, and any message content you provide. We use this information strictly to respond to your inquiries and to send you requested updates. You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time using the link at the bottom of our emails.

 Cookies.
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set several cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

 Embedded content from other websites.
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

 Analytics.
We use Google Analytics to monitor website traffic, track user behavior, and improve our services. Google Analytics collects data using cookies to compile anonymous statistical reports.

   Who we share your data with:
We do not sell your personal data. We only share necessary data with trusted third parties to process payments, deliver newsletters, and prevent spam:
* **Email Marketing:** Your email address is shared with our newsletter service provider to deliver our marketing emails.
* **Spam Protection:** Visitor comments are checked through an automated spam detection service.

  How long we retain your data:
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Contact form submissions and newsletter subscriptions are retained for as long as necessary to provide our services or until you request deletion.

  What rights you have over your data:
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

  Where we send your data:
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

  How we protect your data.
