What personal data we collect and why we collect it
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.
Shipping and billing information
If you request a quote on Farmhouse Exchange, we will automatically save your information and generate an account for you. We (Farmhouse Exchange) soley intend for these details to be used by the store in the quoting, ordering and fulfilment of your order. This could include the store using your details to provide a quote, potentially contacting you to confirm any further details they need in order to provide a quote, and fulfilling your quote if you accept (including providing shipping and delivery services).
Please note, we do our best to work closely with stores to create a good environment for our marketplace, but we cannot ultimately be held responsible in any way for the behaviour or privacy practices of our stores. Please reach out to the stores directly to understand any issues around their treatment of these issues. We are a new website, but take these issues seriously and intend to develop the necessary framework to support good and safe ecommerce practices in the near to medium term future.
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
When you make an order with a store, that store will see your contact details for the purposes of fulfilling your order, or potentially contacting you to confirm details of your order.
We use Google Analytics software on our website which collects anonymous data from all users on our site. This helps us understand the relative success of pages. Read more on Google’s website.
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.
As we are a new website, data retention policies for information stored when making ecommerce purchases are yet to be finalised, although we intend to take this issue seriously. If you have any concerns in the meantime, or if you would like to request your ecommerce is deleted from this website, please don’t hesitate to contact the editor at nathan @ farmouse.exchange.
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.
