Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 7/30/2025

Seat Time (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect when you use our website at www.seattime.net, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.

Who We Are

Our website address is: https://www.seattime.net.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent to help detect spam.

An anonymized string (hash) of your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you use it. You can view Gravatar’s privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public alongside your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site may download and extract this information from images on the website.

Cookies

If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so you don’t have to re-enter your information when leaving another comment. These cookies 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 set up cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last two days, and screen preference cookies last one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. When you log out, the login cookies are removed.

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

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Some pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you visited those websites directly.

These third-party sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their content, including if you are logged in to their site.

Who We Share Your Data With

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

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments without holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except they cannot change their username. Website administrators can also access and edit that information.

Your Rights 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 any data you have provided. You can also request that we delete any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent

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

SMS Privacy Policy

We may share your Personal Data with third parties that help us provide the messaging service, including, but not limited to, platform providers, phone companies, and other vendors who assist us in the delivery of text messages.

Additional Disclosures: Affiliates: We may disclose the Personal Data to our affiliates or subsidiaries; however, if we do so, their use and disclosure of your Personal Data will be subject to this Policy. All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.
