​Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

We may also use cookies and similar technologies for:

  • Analytics: To understand how visitors use our site and to improve performance.
  • Advertising or social media: If we use tools like Meta Pixel, Google Analytics, or embedded social media content, these services may set their own cookies.

You can control cookies in your browser settings, but disabling some cookies may affect how the website works.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (for example: videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

We do not sell your personal data. We may share your data with:

  • Service providers that help us operate the website (hosting providers, security and backup services, email services, analytics tools, spam detection services).
  • If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.​
  • Legal authorities, when we are required to do so by law, or to protect our rights and the safety of others.

If you use third‑party services (for example, login with a social media account, or click on social media links), those services handle your data under their own privacy policies.

How long we retain your data

  • Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow‑up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.​
  • User accounts: For users who register on our website (if any), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.​
  • Contact form and emails: Information sent through contact forms and email may be kept for as long as needed to respond to you, improve our services, or meet legal requirements.
  • Analytics: Usage data may be stored for a limited period as needed for analysis and security.

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 to us.​
  • That we erase any personal data we hold about you.​

This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.​

To exercise these rights, please contact us at: info@happs.space (replace with your preferred email).

If you are in the European Union, United Kingdom, or similar jurisdictions, you may also have rights to object to certain processing, restrict processing, or lodge a complaint with a data protection authority.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.​
We may also use third‑party tools (for example, security, analytics, or content delivery networks) that process data on servers in other countries. In such cases, we take reasonable steps to ensure your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

How we protect your data

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data, including:

  • Secure hosting and regular software updates.
  • Access controls for admin accounts.
  • Strong password practices and security plugins where applicable.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children’s privacy

Our website and services are not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can delete it.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We recommend you review this page regularly to stay informed about how we handle your data.
