Comments
When visitors leave comments on Lake Superior Webcams, we collect the information shown in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This information helps us detect spam and keep the site reliable for readers.
An anonymized string created from your email address, sometimes called a hash, may be provided to the Gravatar service to check whether you use it. The Gravatar privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture may be visible to the public next to your comment.
Media
If you upload images to Lake Superior Webcams, avoid uploading images that include embedded location data, such as EXIF GPS information. Visitors may be able to download images from the site and extract location data from them.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience so you do not need to enter the same information again when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.
If you visit our login page, the site may set a temporary cookie to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is removed when you close your browser.
When authorized users log in, the site sets cookies to save login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies usually last for two days, and screen-options cookies last for one year. If “Remember Me” is selected, login may persist for two weeks. When a user logs out, login cookies are removed.
If an authorized user edits or publishes an article, an additional cookie may be saved in the browser. This cookie contains no personal data and only indicates the post ID of the article that was edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded Content From Other Websites
Articles on Lake Superior Webcams may include embedded content from other websites, including live webcams, YouTube videos, map widgets, images, social media posts, weather tools, or other third-party content. Embedded content from another website behaves as though you visited that website directly.
These third-party websites and services may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional tracking, and monitor your interaction with their content. This may include tracking your interaction if you have an account with that service and are logged in while using our site.
Because Lake Superior Webcams curates camera feeds from outside sources, some webcam players, video embeds, maps, and widgets are provided by third parties such as YouTube, public agencies, tourism organizations, businesses, parks, universities, or webcam hosting providers. Their privacy practices are controlled by those third-party services, not by Lake Superior Webcams.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email.
We may also use standard WordPress, hosting, analytics, security, or spam-prevention tools to operate the site. These services may process limited technical information needed to provide, secure, measure, or protect the website.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata may be retained indefinitely. This helps us recognize and approve follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on the site, if registration is available, we store the personal information provided in the user profile. Registered users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except they cannot change their username. Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including data you have provided to us. You may also request that we erase personal data we hold about you.
This does not include data we are required or permitted to keep for administrative, legal, security, or site-integrity purposes.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam-detection service.
Embedded webcam feeds, videos, maps, weather widgets, and other third-party content may cause your browser to connect directly with the third-party service that provides that content.
