Who we are

Our website address is: https://mybeautypalace.be.

1. Comments & Community

When you leave a comment on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with your IP address and browser user agent string. This helps us keep the “Palace” free from spam.

• Gravatar: An anonymized string (a hash) created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to see if you use it. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public alongside your words. You can view their privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.

2. Media & Uploads

If you upload images to our website (like a “Shop the Look” review), please ensure they do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Other visitors could potentially download these images and extract that location data.

3. Cookies: Your Digital Experience

To make your stay at the Palace more convenient, we use cookies:

• Convenience: If you leave a comment, you can opt-in to saving your name and email. These last for one year so you don’t have to re-type them.
• Login Info: Temporary cookies are set on our login page to see if your browser accepts them (these disappear when you close your browser). When you log in, we set cookies to remember your login info (2 days) and screen choices (1 year).
• “Remember Me”: If selected, your login persists for two weeks.

4. Embedded Content

Our pages may include embedded content (like YouTube tutorials or Instagram feeds). This content behaves exactly as if you visited the other website directly. These sites may collect data about you, use their own cookies, and monitor your interaction—especially if you are logged into an account with them.

5. Data Retention & Sharing

• Comments: Comments and their metadata are kept indefinitely so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.
• Accounts: For registered users, we store the personal info provided in your profile. You can see, edit, or delete this at any time (except your username).
• Password Resets: If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security purposes.
• Spam Checks: We may use automated services to check visitor comments for spam.

6. Your Rights Over Your Data

You are in control. If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You can also request that we erase any personal data. This does not include data we are legally or securely obligated to keep for administrative purposes.
