At Sabores Mexicana, your privacy matters to us. This policy explains clearly and honestly what data we collect, why we collect it, and how we protect it. We believe you deserve to know exactly how your information is handled — no hidden practices, no surprises.
Who We Are
We are Sabores Mexicana, a website dedicated to bringing you the authentic flavors of Mexican cuisine. You can visit us at saboresmexicana.com. For any privacy-related questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly through our website.
What Data We Collect & Why
When you leave a comment, we collect:
- The information you enter in the comment form (name, email, message)
- Your IP address and browser information, used solely to help detect and prevent spam
- Your email may be used to look up a Gravatar profile picture — you can read Gravatar’s privacy policy here
We do not use this information for marketing or share it with third parties.
Uploaded Images
If you upload images to our site, please be aware that they may contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). We recommend removing this data before uploading if you’d like to keep your location private, as it can potentially be extracted by visitors who download the image.
How We Use Cookies
We only use cookies where genuinely necessary. Here’s exactly what we set and why:
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Comment preference | Remembers your name, email & website for future comments | 1 year |
| Browser check | Checks if your browser accepts cookies (no personal data) | Session only |
| Login session | Keeps you securely logged in | 2 days (or 2 weeks with “Remember Me”) |
| Display preferences | Saves your screen display choices | 1 year |
| Post editing | Tracks which article you last edited (no personal data) | 1 day |
We do not use cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking.
Embedded Content
Some pages may include embedded content from third-party platforms such as YouTube or social media. This content behaves as if you visited those sites directly — they may set their own cookies or collect interaction data, particularly if you’re logged into those platforms. We recommend reviewing their individual privacy policies if you have concerns.
Who We Share Your Data With
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data — ever.
The only instance where your data is shared externally is during a password reset, where your IP address is included in the reset email as a standard security measure. Comments may also be passed through an automated spam detection service.
How Long We Retain Your Data
- Comments are retained indefinitely so we can manage follow-ups efficiently
- Registered user data is kept on file for as long as you have an account
- You can request deletion of your data at any time (see below)
Your Rights & Control
You are in control of your data. You have the right to:
- ✅ Access — Request a full export of the personal data we hold about you
- ✅ Edit — Update your personal information at any time through your account
- ✅ Delete — Request that we erase your personal data from our records
- ✅ Portability — Receive your data in a readable, transferable format
Please note: some data may need to be retained for legal, administrative, or security purposes.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us through our website and we’ll respond promptly.
Our Commitment to You
We take your privacy seriously. We only collect what we need, we’re transparent about how we use it, and we never exploit your data for commercial gain. If our practices ever change, we’ll update this page and let you know.
Questions or concerns? We’re always happy to hear from you.
