Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site 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.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

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

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How long we retain your data

We respect your privacy, and to protect it, we have established a data retention policy:

  • For users who register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All 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.
  • Inactive accounts: We will automatically delete accounts with no activity or logins for six months.
  • Personal information will be retained as long as you maintain an active account with us or as required by law.
  • Any data no longer needed for the abovementioned purposes will be securely and permanently deleted.
  • 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 automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive 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. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding your privacy, please get in touch with us at info@frryd.se.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on our website, and the date of the most recent update will be indicated at the top of the policy. We encourage you to review this policy periodically for any updates.

Your continued use of our services after posting changes to this policy constitutes your acceptance of those changes.

Thank you for entrusting us with your information. We are dedicated to maintaining your privacy and ensuring the security of your data.
