Privacy Policy:
Who We Are
Our website address is https://getbudslegalize.com.
Comments
When you leave comments on our site, we collect the data displayed in the comments form, your IP address, and your browser user agent string for spam detection. An anonymized string (hash) created from your email may be shared with the Gravatar service to check for your profile. You can view Gravatar’s privacy policy here. Upon comment approval, your profile picture may be visible publicly.
Media
If you upload images, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract location data from images on our site.
Cookies
When you comment, you may opt to save your name, email, and website in cookies for your convenience. These cookies last for one year. For login users, temporary cookies are set to check your browser’s cookie acceptance, lasting until you close your browser. Login cookies last for two days, while screen option cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login persists for two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies. If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie with the post ID will be saved, expiring after one day.
Embedded Content
Articles may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images). This content behaves as if you visited the other site, which may collect data and use cookies.
Data Sharing
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
Data Retention
Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically. For registered users, personal information in profiles can be viewed, edited, or deleted at any time, except for usernames.
Your Rights
If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of your personal data. You can also request the deletion of your personal data, except where we are required to keep it for legal purposes.
Data Processing
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
MailPoet Newsletter & Emails
If you subscribe to our newsletter or are a member, you may receive emails from us. We only send emails related to your sign-up or our services. To send emails, we use the name and email address you provide, along with the IP address used for signing up to prevent abuse. Our site utilizes MailPoet for email management, which allows us to track opens and clicks for improving our newsletters. No identifiable information is tracked outside this website, except for your email address.
LiteSpeed Cache
We use caching to improve site performance. Cache files are temporary and are not accessed by third parties, except for necessary technical support. Cache files expire as set by the site administrator but can be purged at any time if needed. We may use QUIC.cloud for caching—more details can be found in their privacy policy here.
