At Everest Women Treks, we are committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of our visitors. This policy outlines how we handle your data across https://www.everestwomentreks.com.
1. Identity and Ownership
Our website address is: https://www.everestwomentreks.com. We operate as a premier trekking agency dedicated to providing empowering outdoor experiences.
2. Information Collection and Usage
Comments
When you engage with our community by leaving comments, we collect the information displayed in the comments form. To maintain a high-quality environment and prevent bots, we also record the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string for spam detection.
Note on Gravatar: An anonymized string (a hash) generated from your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to verify if you use it. You can view their privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes public within the context of your post.
Media
If you upload images to our site, please ensure they do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Other visitors can potentially download these images and extract location details, which could compromise your privacy.
3. Cookie Policy
To enhance your user experience, we utilize cookies in the following ways:
- User Convenience: If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email, and website. These cookies last for one year so you don’t have to re-enter details.
- Session Management: Our login page sets a temporary cookie to see if your browser accepts cookies. This contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.
- Authentication: When logging in, we use cookies to remember your credentials and display preferences. Login cookies last two days, while screen options last one year. Selecting “Remember Me” extends your login to two weeks.
- Content Creation: If you edit or publish an article, a cookie identifying the post ID is saved for 24 hours.
4. Embedded Content from Third Parties
Articles on this site may feature embedded content (such as trekking videos, maps, or social media feeds). Embedded content from other websites functions exactly as if you had visited the source site directly.
These third parties may collect data about you, use their own cookies, and monitor your interaction with the content, especially if you are logged into an account with that provider (e.g., YouTube or Instagram).
5. Data Sharing and Retention
- Data Sharing: We do not sell your data. However, if you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the automated reset email for security verification.
- Retention Period: * Comments: Comments and their metadata are stored indefinitely to allow us to recognize and auto-approve follow-up contributions.
• User Profiles: For registered users, we store the personal information provided in their profiles. Users can view, edit, or delete their information at any time (usernames cannot be changed). Site administrators also have access to this data.
6. Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account or have left comments on our site, you have the following rights:
- Request Export: You can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you.
- Request Deletion: You can request that we erase any personal data we hold.
Please note: This does not include data we are legally or administratively required to keep for security, tax, or legal purposes.
7. Automated Processing
To ensure the security of our platform, visitor comments are periodically screened through an automated spam detection service.
