Who We Are
Our digital estate is located at: https://delasminas.com. We are committed to the careful stewardship of your personal information, mirroring the care we take in our coffee production.
Engagement & Comments When members leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This is a technical necessity to assist in our active spam and fraud detection.
- Gravatar: An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. Their privacy policy is available here:
https://automattic.com/privacy/.
Media & Image Uploads If you upload images to our platform (for example, in a review), we recommend ensuring that embedded location data (EXIF GPS) is removed. This prevents other visitors from extracting location details from images hosted on our site.
Digital Cookies To provide a seamless experience, we utilize cookies for the following:
- Convenience: If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your details so you don’t have to re-enter them for future conversations. These last for one year.
- Authentication: When you visit our login page, a temporary cookie determines if your browser accepts cookies; it contains no personal data.
- Persistence: Upon logging in, cookies are set to maintain your session and display preferences. Login cookies persist for two days (or two weeks if “Remember Me” is selected).
Embedded Content Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos or images). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if you visited the source website, and they may collect data or track interactions according to their own independent policies.
Data Sharing & Retention We do not sell your data. We only share it when essential for the security or logistics of the estate:
- Security: If you request a password reset, your IP address is included in the email for your protection.
- Retention: Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely to streamline future moderation. For registered members, we store the personal information provided in your profile.
- Administrative Records: We retain failed, cancelled, or pending order data for 3 years for tax and legal compliance.
Your Rights Over Your Data If you have an account, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, or request that we erase any personal data. This does not include data we are legally obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where Your Data Is Sent Visitor interactions may be screened through automated spam and fraud detection services, including Google reCAPTCHA v3.
