At Front Range Web Development, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency in the way we collect, store, and use your data. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with our privacy practices.

Data Collection and Storage
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data provided in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. We may provide an anonymized string created from your email address (hash) to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy can be found here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public in the context of your comment. If you upload images to our website, we recommend avoiding images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors can download and extract this information from the website.

Cookies
When leaving a comment on our site, you may opt-in to save your name, email address, and website in cookies, allowing for a more convenient experience when commenting in the future. These cookies will last for one year.
Visiting our login page will generate a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.
Upon logging in, cookies will be set up to save your login information and screen display choices. Login cookies expire after two days, while screen options cookies last for one year. Selecting “Remember Me” extends your login duration to two weeks. Logging out of your account will remove these cookies.
Editing or publishing an article will generate an additional cookie in your browser, containing no personal data but indicating the post ID of the edited article. This cookie expires after one day.

Embedded Content
Embedded content from other websites within our articles will behave as if you have directly visited the other website. These sites may collect your data, use cookies, or embed third-party tracking. If you have an account and are logged into that website, they may track your interactions with the embedded content.

Data Sharing
Front Range Web Development implements industry-standard security measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, disclosure, or loss. We continually review and update our security practices to ensure the highest level of protection for your data.

Data Retention
Comments and associated metadata are retained indefinitely to enable automatic approval of follow-up comments instead of holding them for moderation.
User account data can be viewed, edited, or deleted by the user at any time, except for the username. Website administrators can also access and modify this information.

Your Data Rights
Users with accounts on our site or those who have left comments can request an exported file of their personal data held by us, including data you have provided. You may also request the erasure of any personal data we hold about you, except for data required for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Your Rights and Choices
You have the right to access, update, or request the deletion of your personal data. To exercise these rights, please contact us using the information provided on our website. You may also opt-out of certain data sharing practices by modifying your account settings or contacting us directly.
By using our services, you consent to the practices outlined in this Data Sharing Policy. We encourage you to review this policy periodically, as it may be updated from time to time.
