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

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.

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 may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

GDPR Compliance Information

At Delyghtful Food, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. This page provides information about the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and how it may apply to our website, even though we are based in Canada.

What is GDPR?

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a comprehensive data protection regulation introduced by the European Union (EU) to strengthen data privacy and security for individuals within the EU and the European Economic Area (EEA). GDPR sets out rules for the collection, use, and processing of personal data and provides individuals with greater control over their personal information.

Does GDPR Apply to Us?

While GDPR is a European regulation, its principles have global implications, and Canadian businesses may need to comply with GDPR requirements under certain circumstances. For example, if we offer goods or services to individuals in the EU, monitor the behavior of individuals in the EU, or process personal data of individuals in the EU, we may be subject to GDPR requirements.

Our Commitment to GDPR Compliance

Even though we are based in Canada, we recognize the importance of data protection and privacy rights for all individuals, regardless of their location. Therefore, we strive to uphold the principles of GDPR in our data handling practices, including:

  1. Lawfulness, Fairness, and Transparency: We are transparent about how we collect, use, and process personal data and ensure that our data processing activities are lawful and fair.
  2. Purpose Limitation: We only collect and process personal data for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes, and we do not use personal data for purposes that are incompatible with those purposes.
  3. Data Minimization: We collect and process only the personal data that is necessary for the purposes for which it is being processed, and we ensure that personal data is accurate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary.
  4. Accuracy: We take reasonable steps to ensure the accuracy of personal data and keep it up to date, and we promptly rectify any inaccuracies or errors in personal data.
  5. Security: We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure the security of personal data and protect it against unauthorized or unlawful processing and accidental loss, destruction, or damage.

Your Rights Under GDPR

If GDPR applies to our processing of your personal data, you may have certain rights under GDPR, including the right to:

  • Access your personal data
  • Rectify inaccurate personal data
  • Erase your personal data
  • Restrict processing of your personal data
  • Object to processing of your personal data
  • Data portability
