Additional information
What data breach procedures we have in place
This website is regularly swept for malware and consistently updates its plugins and themes. We receive on-going reports of all attempted logins and access. Some customer data is stored directly on this website when purchases are made via WooCommerce; however, WordPress provides data erasure. We do not import SEO data into this website but maintain SEO data using only Google Analytics.
What third parties we receive data from
Instagram Feed WD plugin uses Instagram API on website front end. All the data received from Instagram via API is cached in WordPress database for some short period to provide front end optimization. You may request us to delete your Instagram data if it is accidentally cached in our website database with hashtag feed data. Instagram sves some cookies in browsers of website visitors via API data. These cookies are mostly used for security purposes. They are regulated under terms of Instagrams’s Privacy Policy.
