Privacy Policy

Who We Are

Minkai Bhutan operates the website https://minkaibhutan.com. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you provide when using our website.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect, how we use it, and how we protect your information when you visit or interact with our website.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our website, we collect the information provided in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user-agent string. This information may be used to help detect and prevent spam.

An anonymized string created from your email address, also known as a hash, may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine whether you are using the service. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available on the Automattic website.

Once a comment has been approved, your profile picture may be visible publicly in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to our website, you should avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data, such as EXIF GPS information. Visitors may be able to download images from the website and extract location information contained within them.

Cookies

Our website may use cookies to improve functionality and provide a better browsing experience.

If you leave a comment on our website, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are intended to make it more convenient for you when leaving another comment and may last for up to one year.

If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie may be set to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, cookies may be used to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies may last for two days, while screen preference cookies may last for up to one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login may remain active for up to 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 may be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded Content From Other Websites

Our website may contain embedded content, such as videos, images, articles, or other material from third-party websites.

Embedded content from other websites may behave in the same way as if you had visited that third-party website directly. These websites may collect information about you, use cookies, include third-party tracking technologies, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content.

Their collection and use of information are governed by their respective privacy policies.

How We Use Your Information

We may use information collected through our website to provide and maintain our services, respond to enquiries and comments, improve our website and services, prevent spam or misuse, maintain website security, and comply with applicable legal requirements.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

Who We Share Your Data With

We may use third-party services where necessary to operate and maintain our website, such as spam detection, website hosting, analytics, security, or other website functionality.

Where third-party services process personal information on our behalf, they may have access only to the information necessary to provide their services.

If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the password reset email.

How Long We Retain Your Data

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

If users register on our website, we may store the personal information provided in their user profile. Registered users may be able to view, edit, or delete their personal information, except for information that cannot be changed through the website.

Website administrators may also have access to this information for website administration and security purposes.

Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account on our website or have left comments, you may request information about the personal data we hold about you. You may also request an exported copy of your personal data or request that we erase personal information we hold about you.

Some information may be retained where we are required to do so for administrative, legal, security, or other legitimate purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Depending on the services used by our website, certain information may also be processed by third-party service providers.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our website, services, or legal requirements. Any changes will be published on this page, and the “Last updated” date will be updated accordingly.
