What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval, your profile picture may be visible publicly alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site may be able to download and extract location data from images.
Contact Forms & Email Subscriptions
If you submit information through a contact form or subscribe to our email list, we collect the personal information you voluntarily provide, such as your name and email address.
This information is used only to respond to inquiries, deliver requested content, or send emails you have opted into. You may unsubscribe from emails at any time using the link provided in each email.
Cookies
This website uses cookies to enhance user experience.
If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies last for one year.
If you visit the login page, a temporary cookie is set to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, cookies are set to save login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen option cookies last for one year. Selecting “Remember Me” extends login persistence for two weeks.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is saved that contains no personal data and expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you visited the external website directly.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with embedded content.
Analytics
We may use analytics tools to better understand website traffic and usage. These tools collect anonymous data such as pages visited, browser type, and time spent on the site.
You can disable cookies or tracking through your browser settings if you prefer.
Affiliate Disclosure
Resilient Rico participates in affiliate marketing programs. Some links on this website may be affiliate links, meaning we may earn a small commission if you make a purchase through them — at no additional cost to you.
We only recommend products or services we genuinely believe may be helpful or valuable.
Who We Share Your Data With
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.
Visitor comments may be checked through automated spam detection services.
If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email.
Third-party services (such as email platforms or analytics providers) may process data as part of their services and are governed by their own privacy policies.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely to allow follow-up comments to be approved automatically.
If you subscribe to emails or contact us, we retain your information only as long as necessary for communication purposes or until you request removal.
Registered users (if any) can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for usernames.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
You may request:
- An exported file of the personal data we hold about you
- Deletion of your personal data
This does not include any data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be processed through automated spam detection services.
Some data may be processed outside the United States by trusted third-party services in accordance with applicable privacy standards.
How We Protect Your Data
We take reasonable steps to protect your information using secure hosting, standard security practices, and limited access. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.
