Who We Are
Our website address is: https://ccstiverton.co.uk

ccstiverton.co.uk is an information platform dedicated to aggregating and sharing resources related to healthcare, surgical procedures, aesthetic treatments, and elderly care services. This privacy policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you visit or interact with our website.

Information We Collect

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the website, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist in spam detection.

An anonymized string (hash) derived from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy. After your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes publicly visible in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, please ensure they do not include embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website may be able to download and extract location data from images.

Cookies

We use cookies to enhance user experience and site functionality.

  • If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies last for one year for your convenience.

  • When you visit the login page, we set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is discarded when the browser is closed.

  • Upon login, several cookies are set to save your login details and screen preferences:

    • Login cookies last two days.

    • Screen option cookies last for one year.

    • If “Remember Me” is selected, login will persist for two weeks.

    • Upon logout, login cookies are removed.

  • If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is stored to indicate the post ID. It does not contain personal data and expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, external articles). Embedded content behaves as though you are visiting the source website directly.

These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their content — especially if you have an account and are logged into their site.

Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the password reset email to help verify identity and prevent misuse.

Data Retention

  • Comments and related metadata are retained indefinitely so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.

  • For registered users (if applicable), we store the personal data provided in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (excluding username changes). Website administrators can also access and edit this information.

Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account or have left comments on this site, you may request an exported file containing the personal data we hold about you. You can also request that we erase any personal data we retain. This does not include data we are required to keep for legal, administrative, or security reasons.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be screened through an automated spam detection service to ensure content integrity and prevent abuse.
