Privacy Policy
Who we are
At Blakey Guides, we are dedicated to safeguarding your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines our data collection, usage, and protection practices when you use our website.
Information We Collect
We gather specific information about your device, including your IP address, browser type, and operating system automatically upon your visit. Your website usage, such as the pages you visit and the links you click, may also be recorded.
Furthermore, we may collect personal data that you consciously provide us, such as your name, email address, and other contact details. This collection occurs only when you willingly provide such information.
Usage of Your Information
We utilize the information collected to enhance our website and improve user experience. Your personal information may also be used to contact you with updates or promotional materials about our products or services. Rest assured, your personal data will not be shared with third parties unless mandated by law or during a legal proceeding.
Cookies
We, like many other websites, use cookies to track user activity and enhance our website experience. Cookies are small files stored on your device when you visit our website. You have the option to disable cookies in your browser settings, but this might affect our website’s functionality.
Third-Party Links
Our website may host links to third-party websites. Please note, we are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these third-party sites.
Security
Your personal information’s security is of utmost importance to us. We have implemented measures to protect it. However, please note that no internet transmission or electronic storage method is entirely secure; hence, we cannot guarantee your data’s absolute security.
Policy Updates
We hold the right to modify this Privacy Policy as required. We will post the updated policy on our website and indicate the last revision date.

Comments
Upon leaving comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with your IP address and browser user agent string to aid spam detection.
Media
If you upload images to the website, we recommend avoiding images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) to protect your privacy. Visitors can download and extract any location data from images on our site.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Our site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly 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 the embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Data Sharing and Retention
Your IP address will be included in the reset email if you request a password reset.
We retain comments and their metadata indefinitely to recognize and approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue. For registered users on our website, 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.
Your Data Rights
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.
Data Transfers
Visitor comments may be reviewed through an automated spam detection service.
