Privacy Policy

Who we are

Our website address is: https://moments-of-now.com.

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.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving 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 also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for 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 simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

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 in the exact same way 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 with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

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

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. 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.

What rights 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, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Processing of IP Addresses

We process the IP addresses of our website visitors in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Below, we provide details about this processing:

  • Collection of IP Addresses: Your IP address is recorded along with the pages visited and the time of your visit. IP addresses may, under certain circumstances, be linked to an individual and are therefore considered personal data. They may also be used to estimate your approximate location (country, city).
  • Purpose of Processing: The collection serves to analyze unique visits, detect potential misuse or security incidents, and compile accurate traffic statistics.
  • Legal Basis: The processing is based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR to ensure the security and functionality of our website. A balancing of interests has been conducted to protect your rights and freedoms.
  • Storage Period: IP addresses are stored for a maximum of 30 days, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
  • Data Security: Your IP addresses are stored on secure servers within the EU and protected by technical and organizational measures (e.g., encryption, access controls). Access is restricted to authorized personnel only.
  • Disclosure: Your data will not be shared with third parties unless required by law (e.g., to law enforcement authorities in case of a legal obligation).
  • Your Rights: You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, data portability, and object to the processing of your data. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Please contact us at: tjwspm[at]moments-of-now.com. Our Data Protection Officer can be reached at tjwspm[at]moments-of-now.com.
  • Right to Object: You may object to the processing of your IP address at any time, provided there are no compelling reasons for the processing.
