Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

Our website address is: https://brastraps.com. This Privacy Policy outlines how Brastrap collects, uses, and protects your information when you interact with our store.

 

2. What Information We Collect & Why

Comments
When you leave a comment, we collect the data you provide, along with your IP address and browser type, to help detect spam. If you’re using Gravatar, an anonymized version of your email address may be shared with their service to display your profile image. See Gravatar’s policy here.

Media Uploads
If you upload images to the site, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Other visitors may be able to extract this information.

Cookies

  • When you leave a comment, you may opt-in to save your name, email, and site in cookies for convenience — these last for one year.

  • Login sessions set temporary cookies to maintain access and display preferences.

  • Publishing content may store a cookie indicating the post ID — this expires after 24 hours.

Embedded Content
Pages may include embedded content (videos, posts, etc.) from third-party websites, which may collect data as if you had visited those sites directly.

 

3. How Long We Retain Your Data

  • Comments and their metadata are stored indefinitely for follow-up recognition.

  • Registered users (if applicable) can view, edit, or delete their profile data at any time (except for usernames).

 

4. Your Rights

You may request an exported file of the personal data we store or request its deletion. However, we may retain certain data as required by law or for security and administrative purposes.

 

5. Where Your Data Goes

Visitor comments may be processed through automated spam filters. Payment-related data may be shared with third-party providers for order processing, governed by their privacy policies.

 

6. How We Protect Your Data

We use standard security practices and encryption (including SSL and AES-256 for sensitive data like credit card info) to keep your personal information secure. While no system is completely foolproof, we comply with PCI-DSS and follow best industry standards.

 

7. Third Parties & External Services

We work with external partners (e.g. payment gateways) who may store or process your data under different legal jurisdictions. Please review their privacy terms before completing any transaction.

Example: If you’re located in Canada and your payment is processed via a U.S.-based gateway, U.S. laws (including the Patriot Act) may apply.

 

8. External Links

Our website may contain links to third-party sites. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices and encourage you to review their policies.

Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site and improve user experience.

 

9. Age of Consent

By using this site, you confirm that you are at least the age of majority in your location, or that you have provided consent for any minor dependents to use this site.

 

10. Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes take effect immediately upon posting. Major updates will be noted on this page. If Brastrap merges with or is acquired by another company, your information may be transferred to continue our service to you.
