Privacy Policy

Last updated: 22 Nov 2025.

This Privacy Policy describes how Fix & Function (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you visit [www.fixandfunction.com] (the “Website”).

We are committed to safeguarding your privacy and ensuring that your personal data is handled in a safe and responsible way.

Who We Are

Our website address is: https://fixandfunction.com

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the Website, we collect the information shown in the comment form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.

An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you have a Gravatar account.
Their Privacy Policy is available at: https://automattic.com/privacy/

After your comment is approved, your profile picture (if you use Gravatar) will be publicly visible next to your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the Website, you should avoid uploading images containing EXIF GPS location data. Visitors can download and extract any location data 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 fill in your details again 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.
It contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we set up several cookies to save your login information and display preferences.

  • Login cookies last two days
  • Screen options cookies last one year
  • If you select “Remember Me,” your login stays active for two weeks
  • Logging out removes login cookies

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

Embedded Content From Other Websites

Articles on this Website may include embedded content (such as videos, images, posts, or widgets).
Embedded content from third-party websites behaves exactly as if you visited that website directly.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content — including tracking your activity if you have an account and are logged in to those websites.

Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email.

Additionally, visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam-detection service.

We do not sell or rent your personal data.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, both the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely.
This allows us to recognize and automatically approve follow-up comments instead of holding them for moderation.

For users who register on the Website (if any), we store the personal information provided in their user profile.
Users can view, edit, or delete their information at any time (except username changes, which are restricted).
Website administrators can also see and edit this information if necessary.

Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account on this Website, or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you — including any data you have provided to us.

You may also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you.
This does not include data we are required to keep for:

  • administrative purposes
  • legal obligations
  • security measures

Where Your Data Is Sent

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