Who we are

Welcome to CPA Dharmesh. Our website address is https://cpadharmesh.ca. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency in how we handle your personal data.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data entered in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent details. This helps in spam detection and site security.

Additionally, an anonymized hash created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy can be found here https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if applicable) will be publicly visible alongside your comment.

Media

If you upload images to our website, we advise against including location data (EXIF GPS) within the files. Visitors can download and extract location data from images if they contain embedded information.

Cookies

To enhance your experience, our website uses cookies:

If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. This prevents you from having to re-enter details for future comments. These cookies remain active for one year.

A temporary cookie is set when you visit our login page to check if your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is removed when you close your browser.

When you log in, we set cookies to store your login details and screen preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen preferences cookies last for a year. Selecting “Remember Me” keeps your login active for two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is stored in your browser. It contains no personal data and expires after one day.

Embedded content from other websites

Our website may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other sites behaves just as if you visited the source website. These sites may collect data, use cookies, track interactions, or monitor your engagement if you are logged in to their platform.

Who we share your data with

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

How long we retain your data

Comments and their metadata are stored indefinitely to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.

For registered users, we store the personal information provided in their profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their data at any time (except for usernames, which cannot be changed). Website administrators can also access and manage this information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of your personal data. You may also request that we erase any personal information we hold, excluding data required for legal, administrative, or security purposes.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be reviewed through an automated spam detection service to maintain site security and prevent fraudulent activity.
