Privacy Policy

Effective Date: June 16, 2025

 

Who We Are

This website is owned and operated by Brigids Way. Our website address is: https://brigidsway.com.

We value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor's IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.

An anonymized string (hash) from your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to display your profile picture alongside your comment. You can read the Gravatar privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy.

Cookies

We use cookies to enhance your experience on our website. This includes:

    • Remembering your comment form details for future use (name, email, website).

 

    • Session and login cookies if you log in.

 

    • Cookies that store display preferences (e.g., screen layout options).

 

You can choose to disable or delete cookies in your browser settings.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, social media posts, images, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves just like a visit to the original site.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interaction, especially if you're logged into an account on their platform.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to track how visitors interact with our website. This helps us improve our content and services. Google Analytics collects anonymized data such as your browser, device type, IP address, and pages visited. For more information on how Google uses this data, visit:

Plugins and Data Collection

This website uses the following third-party tools and plugins which may collect or process personal data:

    • Jetpack (by Automattic): Includes spam protection, site statistics, and performance enhancements.

 

    • Gravity Forms: Captures submitted form data. Data may include name, email, and other contact info.

 

    • WooCommerce: If you make a purchase, we collect purchase details, billing/shipping addresses, and transaction data. We do not store credit card details on our server.

 

 

Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell your data. However, if you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the email.

WooCommerce may send order data to payment processors or tax services (e.g., WooCommerce Tax), and Gravity Forms may connect to third-party services if integrations are enabled.

How Long We Retain Your Data

 

    • Comments: Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely to allow for automatic approval of future comments.

 

    • User Accounts: If you register, we store the information you provide in your user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their data at any time (except usernames). Site administrators can also access and edit this information.

 

    • Form Entries: Data submitted through forms may be retained for customer service purposes but is not used for marketing unless explicitly consented.

 

 

Your Data Rights

You have the right to:

    • Request an export of the personal data we hold about you.

 

    • Request that we erase any personal data we hold, except data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
