Who We Are
Welcome to AK2 Naturally Divine! We are dedicated to providing a seamless experience while ensuring the privacy and security of our users. This page outlines how we handle and protect your data when you interact with our website.
Comments and User Interaction
When you leave a comment on our site, we collect the information provided in the comments form, including your IP address and browser user agent string. This data helps us detect and prevent spam, ensuring a safe environment for all users.
If you use the Gravatar service, an anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be sent to Gravatar to check if you have a profile picture associated with it. Once your comment is approved, your Gravatar profile picture will be visible to the public alongside your comment. For more details, you can view Gravatar’s privacy policy here.
Media Uploads
When uploading images to our website, please be mindful of embedded location data (EXIF GPS) within your files. Visitors to the site can download and extract any location data from images, so it’s advisable to remove this information before uploading to protect your privacy.
