Our website address is: https://edenabe.com.
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.
When visitors decide to leave comments on our website, we gather the information that is entered into the comments form by the user. In addition to this, we automatically collect certain technical data: the IP address of the visitor and the browser user agent string. These pieces of information are used to assist in the detection and prevention of spam on the site. The collection of the IP address helps in identifying the geographical location and the network from which the comment was made, which can be useful in recognizing patterns associated with spam activities. Similarly, the browser user agent string, which includes details about the browser type and the operating system, helps in identifying potentially malicious traffic and aids in improving security measures against spam.
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.

Who we share your data with
Certainly! The topic of data sharing is crucial in the context of privacy policies and data management strategies. Here are several ideas about who a company might share user data with and under what circumstances, along with considerations and implications:
### Potential Recipients of Shared Data:
1. **Service Providers:**
– Companies may share data with third-party service providers who perform services on their behalf, such as payment processing, data analysis, email delivery, hosting services, customer service, and marketing efforts. These providers are often bound by confidentiality agreements.
2. **Affiliates:**
– Data might be shared among affiliated companies or subsidiaries. This sharing can help provide a seamless experience across multiple products or services offered by the affiliate entities.
3. **Business Partners:**
– Joint marketing ventures or partnership agreements may necessitate data sharing to facilitate coordinated efforts or offer bundled services.
4. **Advertisers:**
– Data can be shared with advertisers to target specific demographics, interests, or behaviors. This can include anonymized or aggregated data to protect individual privacy.
5. **Legal Requirements:**
– Companies may be compelled to share data with law enforcement under legal obligations, such as court orders, subpoenas, or other legal processes.
6. **Merger or Acquisition:**
– In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, user data might be transferred as part of the business assets.
7. **Research and Development:**
– Data might be shared with research institutions for the purpose of academic research, innovation, and development of new technologies or improvements.
8. **Public Forums:**
– Any information disclosed in public areas of a website (e.g., comments, forums) becomes public information. Users should be cautious about what they disclose in these settings.
### Considerations and Implications:
1. **Transparency:**
– Companies should clearly disclose who they share data with and for what purpose in their privacy policies.
2. **Consent:**
– Obtaining user consent before sharing data, especially for purposes that users might not reasonably expect, is crucial for maintaining trust.
3. **Security Measures:**
– Ensuring that any party with whom data is shared has adequate security measures in place to protect the data from unauthorized access or breaches.
4. **Data Minimization:**
– Sharing only the data necessary for the purpose for which it is shared can help minimize risks and protect user privacy.
5. **Regulatory Compliance:**
– Compliance with relevant privacy laws and regulations, such as GDPR in Europe, CCPA in California, or other data protection laws, is essential.
6. **User Control:**
– Providing users with options to control their data, including who it’s shared with and how it’s used, empowers users and enhances trust.
7. **Contractual Obligations:**
– Binding agreements that enforce the safe handling, confidentiality, and proper use of shared data by third parties are critical.
By considering these aspects, companies can responsibly manage data sharing while ensuring compliance with legal frameworks and maintaining user trust.

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.
