Who We Are

At Spring Extinguishers, we prioritize your privacy while providing top-quality firefighting and fire safety solutions. Our website address is [https://springextinguishers.co.ke/]. This policy outlines how we handle your data.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our website, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This information helps us detect and prevent spam.

An anonymized string derived from your email address (a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to verify if you use it. The Gravatar privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to our website, ensure that they do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site may download and extract location data from such images.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you can opt to save your name, email, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience, allowing you to avoid re-entering your details when posting future comments. These cookies will last for one year.

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

Once you log in, multiple cookies are set to save your login details and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen options cookies last for one year. Selecting “Remember Me” extends your login for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is saved in your browser. This cookie stores the post ID of the edited article and expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on our site may include embedded content such as videos, images, or articles. Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if you visited those sites directly. These websites may collect data, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interactions, especially if you have an account and are logged into their site.

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

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely to allow automatic approval of follow-up comments rather than placing them in a moderation queue.

For registered users, we store the personal information provided in their user profiles. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information anytime, except for their usernames. Website administrators can also view and edit this information.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account on our site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of your personal data, including all data you have shared with us. You may also request that we erase any personal data we hold, except for data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be reviewed using an automated spam detection service to ensure security and efficiency.
