Privacy Policy for Tom’s Chauffeurs
Who We Are
Tom’s Chauffeurs provides professional chauffeur and private transfer services across the UK. Our website address is: https://tomchauffeurs.co.uk. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal data in a transparent and secure manner.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the information shown in the comment form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help us detect spam.
An anonymized string generated from your email address (known as a hash) may be shared with the Gravatar service to determine whether you use it. The Gravatar service privacy policy can be viewed at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if any) becomes visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media
If you choose to upload images to our website, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract any location information from images that appear online.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our website, you may opt to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience so you do not need to re-enter your details next time. These cookies remain active for one year.
When you visit our login page, a temporary cookie checks whether your browser accepts cookies; this cookie does not contain personal data and is removed when you close your browser.
Upon logging in, we will set several cookies to store your login details and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen option cookies last for one year. Selecting “Remember Me” keeps your login active for two weeks. When you log out, these cookies are automatically deleted.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and only records the post ID of the article you edited. It expires in one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this website may include embedded content (for example, videos, images, or external articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you visited that third-party site directly. Those external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interaction with their content—especially if you are logged into an account on that site.
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.
How Long We Retain Your Data
Comments and their associated metadata are stored indefinitely. This allows us to identify and approve future comments automatically rather than holding them for moderation.
For registered users, we store the personal information provided in their profiles. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except the username). Website administrators can also view and edit that information as necessary.
Your Rights Over Your Data
If you hold an account on our site or have left comments, you may request an exported file containing the personal data we store about you, including any information you’ve supplied. You can also request the deletion of your personal data. Please note this does not include data we must retain for administrative, legal, or security obligations.
Where We Send Your Data
We may check visitor comments through automated spam detection systems to maintain site integrity and protect all users.
