Privacy Policy

Who We Are

Our website address is: https://schengenproperty.com.

Schengenproperty.com is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal data is handled securely and responsibly. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your personal data when using our website.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our website, we collect the data shown in the comments form. We also collect the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect and prevent spam.

An anonymised string created from your email address (known as a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check whether you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy can be viewed here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.

Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if linked to Gravatar) may be publicly visible alongside your comment.

Media

If you upload images to our website, you should avoid uploading images that include embedded location data (EXIF GPS).

Visitors to the website may be able to download and extract location data from images published on the site.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our website, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience so that you do not have to re-enter your details when leaving future comments. These cookies will remain active for one year.

If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will be set to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.

When you log in, several cookies will be created to store your login details and display preferences:

  • Login cookies remain active for two days
  • Screen display preference cookies remain active for one year
  • If you select “Remember Me”, your login will remain active for two weeks
  • If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed

If you edit or publish content on the website, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply records the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after 24 hours.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this website may include embedded content such as videos, images, or articles from external websites.

Embedded content behaves in the same way as if you visited the external website directly. These third-party websites may:

  • Collect data about you
  • Use cookies
  • Embed additional third-party tracking
  • Monitor your interaction with the embedded content

This may include tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged into that external website.

Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the password reset email for security purposes.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its associated metadata are stored indefinitely. This allows us to recognise and automatically approve follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Registered users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username).

Website administrators may also view and edit this information when necessary.

Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account on this website or have left comments, you can request:

  • An exported file of the personal data we hold about you
  • That we erase any personal data we hold about you

This does not include data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be processed through an automated spam detection service.

If you have any questions regarding this Privacy Policy or how your data is handled, please contact us through the contact form on Schengenproperty.com.
