Privacy and Cookies
Carrie Simmonds Holistic Therapies is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use and store your information when you use our website or engage with our services.
Who We Are
Our website address is: https://carriesimmondsholistictherapies.co.uk
Media
If you upload images to the website, we recommend that you avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website may be able to download and extract any location data from images on the site.
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 you don’t have to fill in your details again when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.
If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will determine if your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, several cookies will store your login information and screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days. Screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply records the post ID of the article. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (such as videos, images or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if the visitor had visited the external website directly.
These third-party websites may collect your data, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content — especially if you are logged into an account on that third-party platform.
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
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognise and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of moderating them manually.
If users register on our website (where applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. All users can see, edit or delete their personal data at any time (except for their username). Website administrators can also access and edit that 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. You may also request the erasure of any personal data we hold, unless it is required for administrative, legal or security reasons.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
