Privacy Policy

Who we are

Our website address is: https://martinlawrence.ca.

What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Contact form

When you use our contact form, we collect your name, email address, message, and IP address. We use this information to respond to your inquiry. Your email address must be verified before your message is delivered. We retain contact submissions only as long as necessary to handle your request.

Account registration

When you register for an account, we collect your first name, last name, email address, reason for joining, and password. Your registration is held in a pending state until an administrator reviews and approves it. Your password is stored securely by WordPress.

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.

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.

Who we share your data with

We do not sell or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. We may use third-party services (such as email delivery providers) to operate the site, and those services may process your data only as necessary to provide their services.

How long we retain your data

Contact form entries are retained only as long as needed to respond to your inquiry. Pending registration data is retained until your account is approved or removed. If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely.

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. Emails sent through the contact form or registration system are delivered via our hosting provider’s email infrastructure.
