Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Torrevieja Explorer collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Torrevieja Explorer’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Torrevieja Explorer’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Torrevieja Explorer may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Torrevieja Explorer also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on https://torreviejaexplorer.com/ blog posts. Torrevieja Explorer only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to Torrevieja Explorer’s website choose to interact with Torrevieja Explorer in ways that require Torrevieja Explorer to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Torrevieja Explorer gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for a blog at https://torreviejaexplorer.com/ to provide a username and email address.
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.
