Who we are

Welcome to inheritingourplanet.com — this is our official website where we prioritize user privacy and responsible data handling.

Comments

When someone leaves a comment on our site, we collect the data shown in the form, along with the user’s IP address and browser details, to help with spam prevention.

Your email address may be converted into an anonymized hash and shared with the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. For details, refer to their privacy policy: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once approved, your comment and profile picture may become publicly visible alongside your message.

Media

When uploading images to the site, we recommend removing location information (EXIF GPS), as other users can extract that data if present in the image file.

Cookies

Leaving a comment allows you to save your name, email, and website in browser cookies. This saves time when commenting again. These cookies will remain for one year.

Visiting the login page sets a temporary cookie to verify your browser’s cookie compatibility. This cookie doesn’t store personal data and disappears when you close your browser.

Upon logging in, cookies are created to remember your login credentials and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, or two weeks if “Remember Me” is selected. Display setting cookies remain for one year. Logging out will remove all login cookies.

Editing or publishing a post will store an extra cookie in your browser that simply records the post’s ID. It holds no personal data and expires in one day.

Embedded content from other websites

Our content may include embedded items like videos, articles, or images from third-party websites. These elements behave the same as if you visited the external site directly.

These third-party websites may track your activity, collect data, use cookies, and monitor interactions — especially if you’re logged into your account with them while viewing embedded content here.

Who we share your data with

If you initiate a password reset, your IP address will be included in the password recovery message for verification purposes.

How long we retain your data

Comments and their associated metadata are stored indefinitely so that follow-up comments can be automatically recognized and approved without delay.

Registered users (if any) will have their personal details stored in their user profile. All users can view, modify, or delete their data at any time — excluding usernames. Site administrators also have access to this information.

What rights you have over your data

If you’ve registered or commented on this site, you can request a copy of the personal data we have about you, or ask us to delete it. This does not cover any data we are required to retain for legal, administrative, or security purposes.

Where your data is sent

Comments submitted on the site may be processed by automated systems designed to detect and filter spam.
