MediaThrive Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 09/08/2024

At MediaThrive, we are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines how we handle your personal data, your rights under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and how you can contact us with any concerns regarding your data.

1. Who We Are

MediaThrive is a website design, social media marketing, and AI automation agency based in the United Kingdom. Our website address is https://mediathrive.co.uk.

2. What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It

a. Comments

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

An anonymised string created from your email address (also known as a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: Gravatar Privacy Policy. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.

b. Media

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

c. Cookies

We use cookies to improve your experience on our website. If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to save 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 set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last two days, and screen options cookies last 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 indicates the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.

d. Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly 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 if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

3. Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal data to others. However, your IP address will be included in the reset email if you request a password reset.

We may share your data with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you as long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential and comply with GDPR requirements.

4. How Long We Retain Your Data

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

We store the personal information provided by users who register on our website (if any) in their user profiles. 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.

5. Your Rights Over Your Data

Under the GDPR, you have several rights regarding your personal data:

Right to Access: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
Right to Rectification: You can request that we correct any inaccuracies in your personal data.
Right to Erasure: You can request that we delete your personal data, subject to certain conditions.
Right to Restrict Processing: You can request that we limit how we use your personal data.
Right to Data Portability: You can request that we transfer your personal data to another organisation or to you.
Right to Object: You can object to certain types of processing, such as direct marketing.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email address] or write to us at our registered office.

6. Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. As described above, we may also share your data with service providers who assist us with our operations.

7. Data Security

We take the security of your personal data seriously and implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time in response to changing legal, technical, or business developments. When we update our Privacy Policy, we will take appropriate measures to inform you, consistent with the significance of the changes we make.
