Privacy Policy for Last Minute DM

At Last Minute DM, your privacy is important to us. It is our policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website. Accordingly, we have developed this privacy policy to help you understand how we collect, communicate, distribute, disclose, and otherwise make use of your personal information. We have outlined our privacy policy below.

What Information Do We Collect?

1. Visitor Information: We collect basic personal information on all visitors, such as their IP addresses, the pages they visited, and the dates and times they accessed our website. This information is compiled to help improve site performance and development.
2. Contact Forms: We collect and store information provided to us by contact forms on our site. Any time a visitor submits a contact form, the information is automatically stored in our database.
3. Review Forms: We collect and store the IP addresses of any visitor who submits a review form in order to prevent spam, malicious actions, or abuse.
4. Registered Members: We collect and store personal contact information of contributors, editors, and all other registered site members to enable proper channels of communication and technical support.
5. Additional Information: For any other personal information collection, we will identify the purposes for which the information is being collected, before or at the time of collection.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. Who we share your data with: If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. Where your data is sent: Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Distribution of Personal Information

2. Retention Period: We will only retain personal information for as long as necessary for the fulfillment of those purposes.
