Privacy Policy

Who We Are

Howdy! You’ve landed on TR Chytka Bronze—our website address is https://trchytkabronze.com, where the spirit of the West comes alive in bronze. We take your privacy seriously, so here’s what you need to know about how we handle your information.

Comments

When you leave a comment on the site, we gather the details you provide in the comments form, along with your IP address and browser details, to help us keep an eye out for spam. An anonymized string from your email address (called a hash) might be sent over to Gravatar to see if you’re using it. You can check out their privacy policy over at Gravatar Privacy. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if you have one) will show up right alongside your comment for all to see.

Media

If you’re uploading images to our site, just a heads-up—be mindful of any embedded location data (EXIF GPS) that might be included. Visitors to the site can download and pull out that data from any images shared on the website, so it’s best to leave that info off if you want to keep it private.

Cookies

When you leave a comment, you can opt to save your name, email, and website in cookies. That way, you won’t have to type all that in again when you leave another comment. These cookies will stick around for a year.

If you visit our login page, we’ll send over a temporary cookie to see if your browser accepts them. This cookie doesn’t hold any personal data and disappears once you close your browser.

When you log in, we set up a few cookies to save your login info and display choices. The login cookies last for two days, while the screen option cookies last a year. If you click “Remember Me,” your login will hang around for two weeks. Once you log out, those login cookies will ride off into the sunset.

If you’re editing or publishing an article, we’ll stash another cookie in your browser. It doesn’t hold personal info, just the post ID of the article you edited. It’s gone after a day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Some posts on this site may feature embedded content like videos, images, or articles. That embedded content acts just like you’ve visited the other website. They might collect data, use cookies, or track your interaction—just like they would if you were on their site directly.

Who We Share Your Data With

If you ever need to reset your password, your IP address will be included in that reset email, just to keep everything on the up and up.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, that comment and its details stick around indefinitely. This helps us recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically, without holding them in moderation.

For users who register on the site (if we offer that), we keep the personal info you provide in your profile. You can see, edit, or delete your info anytime (except your username, of course). Our website admins can also see and edit that information if needed.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you’ve got an account here or have left comments, you can request an exported file of all the personal data we’ve got on you. You can also ask us to erase any personal data we’re holding onto, though we’ll still need to keep some info for legal, administrative, or security reasons.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Comments from visitors might be checked through an automated spam detection service to keep things running smooth.
