Privacy Policy

At BlueDiamondGift, we value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and how we handle it. Our website is: https://bluediamondgift.com.

What Personal Data We Collect and Why

Comments
When you leave comments on our site, we collect the data entered in the comment form, your IP address, and browser user agent string to detect spam. An anonymized string (hash) from your email may be sent to Gravatar to check if you use their service. After your comment is approved, your Gravatar profile picture (if applicable) will be publicly visible alongside your comment. Gravatar’s privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/.

Media
If you upload images to our site, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract this data from images on the website.

Cookies

  • If you comment, you may opt-in to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies last one year.
  • When logging into an account, we set a temporary cookie to check browser compatibility (discarded when you close your browser) and cookies to save login details (2 days) and display preferences (1 year). Selecting “Remember Me” extends login cookies to two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.
  • Editing or publishing an article adds a cookie (no personal data) indicating the post ID, expiring after 1 day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites
Our site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images) from other websites. This content behaves as if you visited those sites directly, which may collect data, use cookies, or track interactions if you’re logged into those services.

How Long We Retain Your Data

  • Comments and metadata are kept indefinitely for automatic approval of follow-ups.
  • Registered users’ profile data is stored as long as the account exists. You can view, edit, or delete this data (except usernames) anytime; administrators can also access and edit it.

Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account or have commented, you may request an exported file of your personal data or ask us to delete it. This excludes data we must retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where We Send Your Data

Comments may be processed by an automated spam detection service. Payment and analytics providers (see below) may also receive necessary data to fulfill their services.

How We Protect Your Data

We use reasonable safeguards and industry best practices to prevent unauthorized loss, misuse, access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of your data. Payment information is encrypted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and stored with AES-256 encryption, adhering to PCI-DSS standards. While no online transmission is 100% secure, we strive to maintain robust protection.

Third Parties We Work With

Third-party providers (e.g., PayPal for payments, Google Analytics for site insights) collect and use your data only as needed to provide their services to us. These providers have their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review:

Note: Some providers operate in jurisdictions with different laws (e.g., U.S. legislation like the Patriot Act may apply if data is processed there).

Clicking links on our site may take you to third-party websites not governed by this Privacy Policy. We’re not responsible for their privacy practices—please review their policies.

Age of Consent

By using our site, you confirm you are at least the age of majority in your state or province, or that you’ve given consent for your minor dependents to use it.

Disclosure Requirements

We may disclose your data if required by law or if you violate our Terms of Service.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy at any time. Changes take effect upon posting. Significant updates will be highlighted here to inform you of what data we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances it’s shared. If BlueDiamondGift is acquired or merged, your data may transfer to new owners to continue serving you.
