Who We Are

Our website address is: https://vanrepairsteam.co.uk. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data responsibly in accordance with GDPR regulations.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our website, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect and prevent spam.

An anonymised string (hash) derived from your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to verify if you use it. You can read Gravatar’s privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes visible to the public alongside your comment.

Media

If you upload images to our website, we advise removing any embedded location data (EXIF GPS) before uploading. Please note that visitors to the site may be able to download and extract location data from images displayed on the website.

Cookies

If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience, so you don’t need to re-enter this information for future comments. These cookies will last for one year.

When you visit our login page, we create a temporary cookie to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

Once you log in, we set several cookies to store your login details and screen preferences. Login cookies last two days, screen options cookies last one year, and if you select “Remember Me,” your login persists for two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.

If you edit or publish a post, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply stores the post ID. It expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this website may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you were visiting those external sites directly.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking tools, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content—especially if you have an account and are logged in to those sites.

Data Sharing

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security purposes.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, it and its metadata are stored indefinitely so we can automatically recognise and approve any future comments instead of holding them for moderation.

For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal data they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except their username). Website administrators can also view and update that information.

Your Data Rights

If you have an account or have left comments on our site, you can request a file containing the personal data we hold about you. You can also request that we delete any personal data we hold, excluding data we are required to retain for legal, administrative, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be reviewed through an automated spam detection service.
