Privacy Policy
==========

 Who we are

Our website address is: 

https://wandermaple.com


We are committed to protecting the privacy of our users. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose information when you use our website. We collect various types of information to provide, maintain and improve our Service.

 

Comments

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.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.


Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any 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. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year. If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser. When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed. 

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

 

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

 

Who we share your data with

We generally don’t share your personal information with third parties. In some cases, we may use anonymized data for website improvement or work with service providers who assist us with website operations (e.g., comment spam detection). These service providers are obligated to protect your information and only have access to the data necessary for their specific tasks. When you encounter embedded content from other websites (like videos), those platforms may collect data according to their own privacy policies.

 

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

 

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.


Where your data is sent

Visitor comments on our website might be checked by a special computer program designed to stop spam. This program helps us keep our website clean and free from unwanted messages. When you leave a comment, it might be sent to this program for a quick check. The program will look for signs that it’s spam, like unusual words or links. We take your privacy seriously. Your information will only be shared with the spam detection service for the purpose of checking for spam and won’t be used for anything else.


Disclosure of Your Information

We may disclose your information to third parties in the following circumstances:

  • Service Providers: We may employ third-party companies and individuals to facilitate our Service (“Service Providers”). These third parties may have access to your Personal Data only to perform specific tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if we are required by law to do so or if we believe that such action is necessary to comply with legal requirements or protect our rights or the rights of others.

Data Security

The security of your information is important to us. We use commercially reasonable efforts to store and maintain your information securely. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

 

Children’s Privacy

Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us. 

If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from a child under 13, we will take steps to remove that information from our servers.


Third-Party Links

https://wandermaps.com contains links to other websites. It’s important to understand that clicking these links takes you away from Wondermaple and onto a completely different website.

Why is this important? Because each website has its own privacy policy. This means the way they handle your personal information could be different from how Wondermaple handles it.

Here’s what we recommend: Before you provide any personal information on a linked website, take a moment to read their privacy policy. This will help you understand how they will use your information.


Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We might notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.


Amazon Associate Disclosure

Here’s the important part: This commission doesn’t come at any extra cost to you! In fact, it helps us keep this website running smoothly and provide you with valuable content.
