Who we are?
We are a group of people with a common purpose, and you can find more information about us on our website at https://www.bognor.news.
Comments
As a website owner, we collect various data from visitors who leave comments on our site. This data includes the information provided in the comments form, the IP address of the visitor, and the user agent string of the browser. This allows us to effectively detect spam and ensure that our website remains safe and secure for all users. In addition to this, we may also share a hash – an anonymized string generated from the visitor’s email address – with the Gravatar service. This is done to determine if the visitor is making use of the Gravatar service, which allows for the display of profile pictures next to comments. Once a comment has been approved, the visitor’s profile picture will become visible to the public alongside the comment. If you require further information on the privacy policy of the Gravatar service, please visit https://automattic.com/privacy/.
Media
When uploading images to a website, it is recommended to exclude any embedded location data (EXIF GPS) in the images. This is because the location data can be easily extracted by website visitors who can download the images. Consequently, excluding location data in images is a proactive measure to safeguard the privacy of image owners and prevent unauthorized tracking.
Cookies

Embedded content from other websites
The contents of the articles on this website may include various embedded elements such as images, videos, and articles from other online sources. These embedded elements may function in the same way as if you were directly visiting the corresponding website, and may potentially collect data, utilize cookies, and monitor your interactions with them. If you have an account and are logged in to the website, your interactions with the embedded content may be subject to tracking as well.
Who do we share your data with?
In the event that a user requests a password reset, the email notification they receive will include the IP address associated with the request.
How long we retain your data?
Our website retains all comments and their relevant details indefinitely. This is done to simplify the identification and approval of subsequent comments without the need for moderation. Additionally, the personal information provided by a user during registration is stored on our server. Users have the option to view, modify, or delete their data, except for their username which is permanent. Our website administrators can access this data and make necessary changes.
What rights do you have over your data?
If you are a registered user or have commented on this website, you have the right to request a copy of your personal data that we have on file, including any information you have provided to us.
