Privacy Policy for Urban Brands

Urban Brands operates the website https://urbanbrands.shop . This privacy policy explains how personal data is collected, used, and protected when interacting with the site.

Who We Are

Our website address is https://urbanbrands.shop. Urban Brands collects data to enhance user experience, manage comments, and improve site functionality.

Comments

When visitors leave comments, the site collects data shown in the comment form, the visitor’s IP address, and browser user agent string to aid spam detection. An anonymized string from the email address (a hash) may be shared with Gravatar to check for profile usage. Approved comments display the profile picture publicly.

Media

Uploaded images should avoid embedded location data like EXIF GPS, as visitors can download and extract it. This prevents unintended sharing of precise locations.

Cookies

Comment opt-ins save name, email, and website in cookies for one year to simplify future submissions. Login pages set temporary cookies to test acceptance, discarded on browser close. Login cookies last two days (or two weeks with “Remember Me”), screen options last a year, and editing cookies expire after one day with no personal data.

Embedded Content

Articles may include embeds like videos or images from other sites, behaving as if visited directly. Those sites can collect data, use cookies, track interactions, and monitor logged-in users.

Data Sharing

Password reset requests include the IP address in the email. No other sharing occurs beyond spam detection services.

Data Retention

Comments and metadata are kept indefinitely for automatic follow-up approval. Registered users’ profile data is stored, editable by users (except usernames) and admins.

User Rights

Account holders or commenters can request an export of their data or erasure (excluding required administrative, legal, or security data).

Data Transmission

Visitor comments may use automated spam detection services.
