Privacy Policy for Pack Kingdom

Effective Date: October 12, 2025

Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how Pack Kingdom (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you visit and interact with our website, pack-kingdom.com (the “Site”).

1. What Data We Collect and Why

Comments When you leave a comment on the Site, we collect the following data:

• The information you enter in the comments form (such as your name and email address).

• Your IP address and browser user agent string.

This information is collected to help us detect and prevent spam.

Additionally, an anonymized string created from your email address (known as a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you have a profile picture. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at: https://automattic.com/privacy/. If your comment is approved, your Gravatar profile picture will be visible to the public next to your comment.

Media If you upload images to the Site, you should avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Other visitors can download images from the Site and may be able to extract this location data.

User Registration For users that register on our website (if any), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (though the username cannot be changed). Website administrators can also view and edit this information.

2. Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use them to enhance your user experience.

1. Comment Cookies: If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so you don’t have to re-enter your details for future comments. These cookies last for one year.

2. Login & Session Cookies: When you visit our login page, a temporary cookie is set to determine if your browser accepts them; it contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser. When you log in, we set several cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out will remove these cookies.

3. Content Cookies: If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.

3. Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this Site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). This embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you had visited the other website directly.

These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, especially if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

4. Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell your personal data. We only share it in limited circumstances, such as:

• Password Resets: If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security verification.

• Service Providers: We may use third-party services, such as automated spam detection, which may have access to comment data.
  
  

5. How Long We Retain Your Data

• Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

• Registered Users: We store the personal information for registered users in their profiles for as long as their account remains active.
  
  

6. Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account on this Site or have left comments, you have the right to:

• Request Access: You can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us.

• Request Erasure: You can request that we erase any personal data we hold about you.

Please note that this does not include any data we are obligated to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

7. Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service to ensure the integrity and security of our Site.
