Privacy policy
Who we are
Our website address is: https://travelpatagonia.net.
Lawful Basis for Data Processing
We process your personal data based on your consent, which you can withdraw at any time, or on other lawful bases such as the performance of a contract or compliance with a legal obligation. For example, when you leave a comment on our website or sign up for our newsletter, your consent is required.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with 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 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 one 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 one day.
When you visit our website, we ask for your consent to use cookies that are not strictly necessary for the functioning of the site. You can manage your cookie preferences at any time via our cookie consent tool.
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
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
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.
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
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.
Under GDPR, you have the right to request access to, correction, or deletion of your personal data, as well as the right to restrict or object to processing, and the right to data portability. You can exercise these rights by contacting us directly.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Your data may be transferred to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) for processing. In such cases, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data in accordance with GDPR.
