Our website address is: http://applebeesdrinkmenu.com.
At ApplebeesDrinkMenu.com, we care about your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This page explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you interact with our site.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our blog, we collect the data shown in the comment form, along with your IP address and browser user agent string. This helps us detect and block spam effectively.
If you use Gravatar, an anonymised string (also called a hash) from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to see if you have a profile. You can view Gravatar’s privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if available) may appear next to your comment.
Media
If you upload images to our site (e.g. when submitting a review), please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract location data from publicly visible images.
Cookies
When 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 won’t need to re-enter your details next time. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page (for admin or contributors), a temporary cookie will be set to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.
When you log in, we set up cookies to save your login details and screen preferences. Login cookies last for two days; display options last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login stays active for two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.
If you edit or publish a post, an additional cookie will be saved to your browser. It contains the post ID and no personal data. It expires after 24 hours.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Our blog posts may include embedded content (such as videos, images, or articles) from other trusted websites. This content behaves just as it would if you visited those sites directly.
These external sites may collect data about you, use cookies, and monitor your interaction with embedded elements—especially if you’re logged in to those platforms.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset (applicable to site contributors), your IP address may be included in the reset email for security verification.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely to help us automatically recognise and approve follow-up comments.
For users who register on our site (if applicable), we store personal information provided in your profile. You can view, edit, or delete your data at any time (except your username). Site administrators also have access to edit user details.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of your personal data. You may also request that we erase your data. This excludes any information we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service such as Akismet or similar third-party tools, to protect the integrity of our platform.
If you have any questions or concerns about our privacy practices, feel free to reach out via our Contact page. We’re here to ensure your experience with ApplebeesDrinkMenu.com is enjoyable and secure.
