Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 30, 2025
Website: https://karofood.com

1. Who We Are

KaroFood (“we”, “our”, “us”) operates the website https://karofood.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you visit our website, leave comments, upload content, or interact with embedded media. We value your privacy and are committed to safeguarding your personal information.

2. Comments

When visitors leave comments on our website, we collect the data shown in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This helps us detect and prevent spam.

An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes visible to the public alongside your comment.

3. Media

If you upload images to our website, please avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images displayed online.

4. Cookies

Our website uses cookies to improve user experience and facilitate certain features.

Comment cookies: If you leave a comment, you can choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies last for one year.
Login cookies: When you visit our login page, a temporary cookie checks whether your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser. When you log in, additional cookies store your login details and display preferences. Login cookies last two days; screen preference cookies last one year. Selecting “Remember Me” keeps you logged in for two weeks.
Editing cookies: If you edit or publish an article, a cookie will be saved to record the post ID of the edited article. This cookie expires after one day.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect website functionality.

5. Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this website may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if you visited those sites directly. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded material — particularly if you have an account and are logged in to that service. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of those external websites.

6. Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security purposes. Other than that, we do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. Limited data may be shared with trusted service providers who assist us in maintaining the website (e.g., hosting or spam detection).

7. How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically approve future comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal data they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for their username. Website administrators can also access and edit this information.

8. Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account on our website or have left comments, you can request an exported file of your personal data, including any data you’ve provided. You may also request that we erase your personal data. This does not include data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

To make a request, please contact us at [insert contact email, e.g., [email protected]]. We will respond to your inquiry as promptly as possible.

9. Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Data may also be stored on secure servers located in different regions, depending on our hosting provider’s infrastructure. We take all reasonable measures to ensure your information remains protected and confidential.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated “Effective Date.” We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we protect your data.
