At Avian Adventures Hub, your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains the types of information we collect, how we use it, and the choices available to you.

Information We Collect

  • Personal Information: If you sign up for our newsletter, contact us, or create an account, we may collect your name, email address, and other details you provide.
  • Non-Personal Information: We collect technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device, and pages visited. This helps us analyze site traffic and improve functionality.
  • Cookies & Tracking Technologies: We use cookies to remember preferences and measure site performance. You can adjust your browser settings to manage or block cookies.

Use of Information

We use collected information to:

  • Provide and improve our directory services.
  • Respond to inquiries and support requests.
  • Personalize your experience.
  • Send newsletters or promotional updates if you have opted in.
  • Monitor site performance and trends.

Comments & Media

When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the form along with the visitor’s IP and browser information to prevent spam.

  • An anonymized string of your email may be shared with the Gravatar service to display profile pictures.
  • Uploaded images should not contain embedded location data, as visitors can download and extract that information.

Cookies in User Accounts and Comments

  • If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your details in cookies for convenience (lasting up to one year).
  • Temporary cookies may be set on login pages to check browser compatibility.
  • Login and display preference cookies may last from a few days up to one year.
  • Editing or publishing content sets a short-term cookie noting the post ID, which expires in one day.

Embedded Content from Other Sites

Articles on our site may include videos, images, or other embedded content. These behave as if you visited the external site directly and may involve additional tracking or data collection by those third parties.

Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal data. We may share information in limited cases:

  • With trusted service providers (such as hosting, analytics, or email delivery).
  • If required by law or to protect rights, safety, or property.
  • Visitor comments may be processed through an automated spam detection service.

Data Retention

  • Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely to help recognize and approve future comments.
  • For registered accounts (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in user profiles. Users can view, edit, or delete their data at any time (except usernames). Site administrators may also access and update this information.

Your Rights

You may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you or ask us to erase it, subject to any obligations to retain certain records for legal or security reasons.
You may also unsubscribe from our emails at any time using the link provided in the message.

Children’s Privacy

Our services are not directed toward children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your information, but no system can guarantee complete security.
