Effective Date: August 2025
Website: https://washopagency.com

At Washop, your privacy is important to us. This policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your information when you interact with our website.

1. Who We Are

Our website address is: https://washopagency.com. We are a digital agency based in the UK and Pakistan, offering web design, SEO, social media, and digital marketing services globally.

2. 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 to help with spam detection.

An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to determine if you’re using it. The Gravatar privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public alongside your comment.

3. Media

If you upload images to our website, we advise avoiding images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors may download and extract this data.

4. Cookies

• If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for future convenience. These cookies last one year.

• A temporary cookie is set when visiting the login page to check cookie acceptance — it contains no personal data and is discarded after closing your browser.

• Upon login, cookies are set to save your credentials and screen preferences:

  • Login cookies: 2 days (or 2 weeks if “Remember Me” is selected)

  • Screen options cookies: 1 year

• When editing or publishing content, an additional cookie is stored in your browser (expires after 1 day) — it contains no personal data.

5. Embedded Content from Other Sites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if the visitor has visited the other website directly. These sites may collect data, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interactions with their content.

6. Who We Share Your Data With

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

7. How Long We Retain Your Data

• Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely for automatic approval of follow-ups.

• Registered users (if applicable) can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except usernames). Website administrators can also access and edit that data.

8. Your Data Rights

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

• An exported file of the personal data we hold about you.

• That we erase any personal data we hold, except for data retained for legal, administrative, or security purposes.

9. Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be reviewed by an automated spam detection service.
