Privacy Policy

Who we are

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

Softenough builds creative tools that respect artists. That philosophy extends to how we handle your data.


What data we collect (and why)

Comments

When visitors leave comments, we collect the information shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This is used only for basic spam detection and site security.

If you choose to use Gravatar, an anonymized hash of your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to display your profile image. Gravatar’s privacy policy is available at:

Media uploads

If you upload images to the website, please be aware that images may contain embedded metadata (EXIF data), including location information. Visitors can download and view this data. We recommend removing location metadata before uploading images.


Cookies

We use cookies only where WordPress requires them for basic functionality.

  • If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience. These last for one year.
  • A temporary cookie may be set on the login page to check whether your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
  • Login cookies are used to manage authenticated sessions and display preferences. These are removed when you log out.

We do not use cookies for advertising, behavioral profiling, or cross-site tracking.


Embedded content from other websites

Pages on this site may include embedded content (such as videos or images). Embedded content behaves exactly as if you visited the source website directly.

These third-party sites may collect data about you, use cookies, or track interactions according to their own privacy policies. We do not control their behavior.


Who we share your data with

We do not sell, rent, or trade your data.

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

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


How long we retain your data

  • Comments and related metadata are retained indefinitely to allow follow-up comments to be approved automatically.
  • If you register an account (if applicable), the personal information you provide is stored in your user profile.

You may request deletion of your data at any time, subject to legal or security requirements.


Your rights

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you may request:

  • A copy of the personal data we hold about you
  • Deletion of your personal data

This does not include data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.


Our stance

We believe privacy is a baseline, not a premium feature.

We do not run ads, track behavior for monetization, or harvest user data for analytics beyond what is required to keep the site functioning and secure.

If that ever changes, this policy will be updated clearly and honestly.
