Privacy Policy

Who we are

Our website address is: https://maritimedumpster.ca.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the information entered in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent. This helps us detect and reduce spam.

If you use Gravatar, we may send an anonymized string (a hash) created from your email address to the Gravatar service to check for an associated profile image. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture may appear publicly next to your comment. You can review the Gravatar service’s privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.

Media

If you upload images to the website, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors may be able to download and extract this information from uploaded images.

Cookies

Leaving a comment gives you the option to save your name, email, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience—so you don’t need to re-enter details for future comments. These cookies will remain active for one year.

When you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie doesn’t store personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.

After logging in, we set up cookies to save your login information and screen preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen option cookies last for one year. Selecting “Remember Me” keeps your login active for two weeks. Logging out will remove all login cookies.

If you edit or publish an article, your browser will store an additional cookie. This cookie contains only the post ID of the article and expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, or articles). These behave as if you had visited the originating website directly.

Such websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking tools, and monitor your interaction with their content—especially if you’re logged in to their services.

Data Sharing

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

Data Retention

We retain comments and their metadata indefinitely to help us recognize and automatically approve follow-up comments.

If you register on our website (if that feature is available), we store the personal information you provide in your user profile. Registered users can view, edit, or delete their information at any time—except for their username. Site administrators can also access and update that information.

Your Data Rights

If you have an account or have left comments on our site, you can request an exported file of the personal data we store about you. You can also ask us to erase your personal data, except for any information we must retain for administrative, legal, or security reasons.

Where Your Data Goes

To help prevent spam, we may scan visitor comments through an automated spam detection service.
