Certainly! Here’s a polished, clear, and professional version of your privacy-related text sections. I’ve kept the meaning intact, improved flow, and enhanced readability:
Who We Are
Our website address is: https://appalachian-ironworks.com.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the information shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.
An anonymized string generated from your email address (also known as a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. You can review Gravatar’s privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors to the site may be able to download and extract this information.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so you won’t need to fill in these details again when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.
When you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.
Once you log in, several cookies are set to save your login status and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out will remove the login cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is stored in your browser containing the post ID of the article you edited. This cookie contains no personal data and 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 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 those sites.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How Long We Retain Your Data
Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them for moderation.
For registered users (if any), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except they cannot change their username. Website administrators also have access to edit this information.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided. You may also request that we erase any personal data we hold, except for data required to be kept for administrative, legal, or security reasons.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
If you want, I can also help you format this for your website, or tailor the tone (more formal, casual, or friendly) based on your audience. Would you like that?
