Privacy Policy for Lina & Dan

At Lina & Dan (www.linaanddan.com), your privacy is very important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have regarding your information.

Who We Are

Our website address is: https://www.linaanddan.com. We are a personal travel blog sharing experiences, guides, and tips.

Comments

When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.

An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar privacy policy is available at Automattic Privacy Policy. After your comment is approved, your profile picture (if any) becomes visible alongside your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the site, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images.

Cookies

  • If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so you don’t need to re-enter details when posting another comment. These cookies last for one year.
  • If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
  • When you log in, we set cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days; screen option cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login persists for two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (such as YouTube videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if you had visited the other site directly.

How Long We Retain Your Data

  • For users that register (if applicable), we store the personal information they provide in their profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except usernames cannot be changed). Website administrators can also view and edit that information.
