Policy Overview

How website data may be collected, stored, processed and managed

Who we are

This website is operated by Sirius Hospitality Group Ltd. For the purposes of this website, our primary domain is siriushospitalitygroup.com.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we may collect the data shown in the comments form, together with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string, to assist with spam detection and platform security.

An anonymised string created from your email address, also known as a hash, may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine whether you are using it. After approval of a comment, your profile picture may be visible to the public in the context of that comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data, including EXIF GPS data. Visitors to the website may be able to download and extract location data from images published on the site.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are provided for your convenience so that you do not need to fill in your details again when leaving another comment. These cookies may remain for up to one year.

If you visit a login page, a temporary cookie may be set to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, several cookies may be set to save your login information and your screen display preferences. Login cookies may remain for two days, and screen option cookies may remain for one year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login may persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, login cookies will be removed.

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

Embedded content from other websites

Articles or pages on this site may include embedded content such as videos, images or articles. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if the visitor had visited that external website directly.

These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including where you have an account and are logged in to that external website.

Who we share your data with

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

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata may be retained indefinitely. This allows follow-up comments to be recognised and approved automatically rather than being held in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website, if applicable, we may also store the personal information provided in their user profile. Users can typically see, edit or delete their personal information at any time, except for their username. Website administrators may also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site 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 personal data we hold about you, excluding any data 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.
