Privacy Policy

Last Updated: May 30, 2023

Thank you for visiting Orchard Realty’s website (“us”, “we”, or “our”) located at https://orchard-realty.com. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect the information you provide to us or that we collect from you when you use our website.

1. Comments
When visitors leave comments on our website, we collect the data shown in the comments form, the visitor’s IP address, and browser user agent string to assist in spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy can be found at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public within the context of your comment.

2. Media
If you choose to upload images to our website, please ensure that you avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS) within the images. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from these images.

3. Cookies
When you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience, so you don’t have to fill in your details again when leaving another comment. These cookies will remain valid for one year.

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

Upon logging in, we will set up several cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies will be stored for two days, while screen options cookies will be stored for one year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out of your account will remove the login cookies.

Additionally, when you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and only indicates the ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

4. Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on our site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.) that behave in the same way as if you have visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

5. Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

6. How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This enables us to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically, instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website (if any), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

7. Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account on our site or have left comments, you have the right to request 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. Please note that this does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

8. Where We Send Your Data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

If you have any
