Privacy Policy

    Who we are

    Our website address is: https://boostcart.co.uk.

    Boostcart is based in the United Kingdom and complies with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

    Comments

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

    An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
    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.

    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 whether 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 up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one 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 edited. It expires after one day.

    Embedded content from other websites

    Articles on this site may include embedded content such as videos, images, or articles. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the 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 if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

    Who we share your data with

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

    We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties. Data may be shared only where necessary to provide website functionality, comply with legal obligations, or protect the security of the site.

    How long we retain your data

    If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognise and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

    For users who register on our website (if any), we store the personal information provided 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.

    What rights you have over your data

    Under UK GDPR, you have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data.

    If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You may also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you.

    This does not include data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

    Where your data is sent

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