Privacy Policy | Personal Data Collected and Why

We value your privacy. For example, the information collected is used to communicate with volunteers or, alternately, to make the website work properly. Our full privacy policy and guidelines are listed below.

Seed2Need

If you leave a comment, the website retains the comment and metadata indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

Where we send your data

We installed an automatic spam detection service to review incoming comments for spam.

The website address is: https://seed2need.org.

Comment Privacy

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

The website provides an anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After we approve your initial comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included, because visitors to the website can download and extract 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. However, this is optional. Cookies are for your convenience so you do not have to fill in your details when you leave future comments. These cookies will last for one year.

Furthermore, when editing or publishing an article, an additional cookie will be saved to your browser. This cookie includes no personal data. It simply indicates the post ID of the article edited and it expires within 24-hours.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. For example, other

websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content. This includes tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the website retains the comment and metadata indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
