At White Sparrow Food Co., your privacy matters. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have when visiting our website.

Who We Are

Our website address is:
https://whitesparrowfoodco.com

White Sparrow Food Co. is a food blog and creative business sharing recipes, photography, and culinary inspiration.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the information shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This helps us detect spam and keep the site safe.

An anonymized string (also called a hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you’re using it. The Gravatar privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if connected to Gravatar) may be visible publicly alongside your comment.

Cookies

If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so you don’t have to re-enter your details next time you comment. These cookies last for one year.

If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie may be set to check whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When logging in, cookies are used to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen preference cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out removes login cookies.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie does not contain personal data and simply records the post ID of the article. It expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, or articles). Embedded content behaves the same way as if you visited the other website directly.

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

Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email.

We do not sell or trade your personal information.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments rather than holding them for moderation.

If you register for an account (if applicable), we store the personal information you provide in your user profile. You can view, edit, or delete your personal information at any time (except your username). Website administrators may also access and edit this information for site management purposes.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You may also request that we erase your personal data.

This does not include data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

We use Akismet Anti-Spam, which collects information about commenters on sites that use the service. This may include the commenter’s IP address, browser user agent, referrer, site URL, and information directly provided by the commenter (such as name, email address, and comment content).

Third-Party Services

This website may use the following WordPress plugins or services that process limited user data:

• WordPress – Website platform

• Akismet – Spam detection

• Relevanssi – Search functionality

Each service processes data only as necessary to perform its function.
