Who We Are

Welcome to Eppel Photography, found at https://eppel.nl. Our website is here to inspire, inform, and of course, share our photography with the world.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser information. This helps us keep spam away.

If you use Gravatar, an anonymized string (a hash) based on your email address may be sent to their service. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes visible next to your comment. You can read more about Gravatar’s privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.

Media

If you upload images to our website, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site could potentially download and extract that information.

Cookies

We use cookies to make your experience as smooth as possible.

Leaving a comment? You can choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies so you don’t have to re-enter them next time. These cookies last for one year.
Visiting our login page? A temporary cookie will be placed to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie doesn’t contain personal data and disappears when you close your browser.
Logging in? We set cookies to store your login details and screen preferences. Login cookies last for two days (or two weeks if you select “Remember Me”), while screen settings cookies last for one year. Logging out removes these cookies.
Publishing or editing a post? Your browser will store an additional cookie containing the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day and doesn’t include personal data.

Embedded Content

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if you visited those websites directly.

Those sites may collect data, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content—especially if you have an account and are logged in to that site.

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

Comments and their metadata are stored indefinitely. This way, we can automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments instead of holding them in moderation.
For registered users (if any), we also store the personal information provided in their profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Site administrators can also access and edit this information.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an export file of your personal data we hold, including any data you’ve provided. You can also request that we erase your personal data. This does not include any data we’re 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.
