Cookie Policy
Our website uses cookies to improve user experience and gather analytical data. You can disable cookies through your browser settings, although doing so may affect site functionality.
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.
Third-Party Links and Ads
Our website includes third-party links and advertisements from partners like Google Ads, Outbrain, and Taboola, as well as affiliate links. These companies may use cookies to serve targeted ads. We’re not responsible for the content or privacy practices of third-party websites.
Affiliate Marketing Disclosure
Some of the links on Foliage Journal are affiliate links. This means we may earn a commission if you click on the link or make a purchase using the link.
Digital Products
We offer digital products for sale. All transactions are processed through secure gateways, and we do not store your financial information.
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.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
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.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way 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 that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), 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.
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.
Security Measures
We employ industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information.
Changes to Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time. Updates will be posted on this page with the updated “Last Updated” date at the top.
