Who we are
Hey there! You’ve landed on MedCanKan (https://medcankan.org). We’re all about medical cannabis, but today, we’re talking privacy and cookies. Not as exciting as cannabis, I know, but stick with me.
Comments
When you leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form. We also grab your IP address and browser user agent string to help us detect spam. Because nobody likes spam, right?
If you’re using Gravatar, an anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service. You can check out the Gravatar service privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you’re uploading images to the website, try to avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract any location data from images on the website. And we wouldn’t want anyone showing up uninvited to your secret cannabis garden, would we?
Cookies
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 you don’t have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year, much like a well-preserved cookie jar.
When you log in, we set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. 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 faster than you can say “cannabis cookie”.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). This behaves in the same way as if you’ve 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. It’s like a digital footprint in the cannabis field.
Who do we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. But don’t worry; we won’t share your data with anyone else. We’re not that kind of site.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue. It’s like a digital memory box but for comments.
What rights do you have over your data?
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we must keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes. It’s your data, after all.
Where is your data sent?
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. It’s like a digital bouncer for unwanted spam.
And that’s it! That’s our Privacy & Cookie Policy. Not as fun as talking about cannabis, but essential nonetheless. Thanks for sticking with me!
That’s it from your friendly neighborhood GreenLeaf. Remember, life’s a garden; dig it! Until next time, stay green and serene.
