At Winter Memories, accessible at wintermemories.com, your privacy is one of our top priorities. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you use our site and services.
Information We Collect
Comments and Feedback
When users leave comments on Winter Memories, we collect the data you provide in the comment form, including your IP address and browser type. This information helps us identify spam and maintain a safe environment for all users.
Media and Location Information
If you upload images or files to our website, please be aware that embedded metadata (like EXIF GPS location data) might be included. Visitors to the site can potentially download and extract this data, so we recommend removing location tags before uploading.
Cookies and Browser Data
We use cookies to personalize and enhance your experience. For example, cookies can store your name, email, and preferences to streamline your future interactions.
- Comment-related cookies are saved for up to one year.
- When you log in, temporary cookies verify your browser’s compatibility.
- Additional cookies store your login session and display preferences—these may last up to two weeks if you choose “Remember Me.”
- Publishing content sets a cookie related to the article ID, which expires after 24 hours.
Third-Party Embedded Content
Winter Memories may feature embedded content from other platforms (e.g., videos, images, articles). Interacting with such content is similar to visiting those sites directly. These third-party websites may collect data, utilize cookies, and track your interactions—especially if you’re logged into their services.
Password Resets and Security Logs
If you initiate a password reset request, we collect your IP address as part of the security verification process to help prevent unauthorized access.
Data Retention and Management
Comments and their metadata are stored indefinitely to help us maintain a cohesive comment history. For users who register on Winter Memories, we store the information provided in your profile, which you can modify or delete at any time. Administrators also have access to view and update this data when necessary.
Your Rights Over Your Data
You may request an export of the personal information we have collected about you, including any data you have directly shared. You can also request that we delete any such personal data, except for information we are required to retain by law.
Sharing and Transferring Data
Winter Memories may share limited user data with trusted service providers or partners during routine operations or business transitions, but only under strict confidentiality and data protection standards. If necessary, your data may be transferred to servers outside your home country, provided these transfers are secured under appropriate legal mechanisms.
Safeguarding Your Information
Although we implement robust measures to secure your data, no system or method of online transmission is completely fail-proof. We advise all users to exercise caution when submitting sensitive information online.
Protection of Minors
We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 13. If you believe a child has submitted their data to Winter Memories, please contact us immediately so we can take appropriate action to remove it.
External Links
Our platform may contain links to other websites not operated by Winter Memories. These external sites maintain their own privacy practices, which we do not control. We strongly encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
Winter Memories may update this Privacy Policy occasionally to reflect operational, legal, or regulatory changes. When we do, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this document and notify users via the site or email when appropriate.
