Comments:
When visitors leave comments on ofbloodandtephra.com, we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. All comments are held for review as an additional countermeasure against spam.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. After approval of your comment, your generated profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Cookies:
If you leave a comment on any of the comics, products, or other pages on ofbloodandtephra.com, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
Your Purchase Data from our Store Page:
Data not gathered by comment or interaction cookies -such as in the case of purchasing a product and providing shipping and card information- will be ran through a shipping calculator as well as sent in a order confirmation form to the site owner. This data is not used for anything more than shipping purposes. No buyer user registration system is in place, so your personal data is not stored on our site beyond individual order requests. Any and all specific personal data provided when buying a product will be wiped from our database once the product has been shipped. Additionally, our third-party payment processor (PayPal, Venmo, Credit/Debit Option) does not provide us with personal data regarding your payment method.
Note: For shipping purposes, only the country and/or state of orders may be automatically logged by our tax calculator indefinitely to better serve future customers.
How long we retain your data:
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments during moderation review.
We do not offer user registration for comments or other pages on ofbloodandtephra.com. Any data you provide (not including cookies) has been voluntary posted by you and no users will be retained on our site.
Where your data is sent:
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Shipping and payment data may be run through our Tax calculator and USPS for shipping rates.
