Privacy Policy

General information

This Privacy Policy explains how Mystery Hunt Store collects, uses, and protects personal information when you visit or interact with our website.

The official website of Mystery Hunt Store is:
https://mysterhunt.store

Information collected through comments

When users leave comments on our website, we collect the information entered in the comment form. In addition, technical data such as the visitor’s IP address and browser details may be recorded to help detect spam and maintain site security.

To check whether you use the Gravatar service, an anonymized version of your email address may be shared with Gravatar. Their privacy policy can be reviewed here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
Once a comment is approved, the associated profile image (if any) becomes publicly visible next to the comment.

Uploaded media

Users who upload images to the website should ensure that the files do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Any visitor to the site may be able to download images and extract such metadata if it exists.

Use of cookies

If you submit a comment, you may choose to allow cookies that store your name, email address, and website. This is done solely for convenience so you do not need to re-enter your details when commenting again. These cookies remain active for up to one year.

When visiting the login page, a temporary cookie may be created to test whether your browser supports cookies. This cookie does not contain personal data and is automatically removed when the browser is closed.

After logging in, cookies are used to remember your login status and interface preferences. Login cookies remain valid for two days, while display preference cookies may last for up to one year. Selecting the “Remember Me” option extends the login period to two weeks. Logging out clears login-related cookies.

If content is edited or published, a cookie storing the content ID may be saved in your browser. This cookie does not contain personal information and expires after 24 hours.

Content embedded from external websites

Some pages may include content embedded from third-party websites, such as videos, images, or articles. This embedded content behaves exactly as if the visitor had accessed the external website directly.

These third-party platforms may collect personal data, use cookies, apply additional tracking technologies, and monitor interactions with embedded content, especially if the user is logged into an account on that platform.

Sharing of personal data

If a password reset is requested, the IP address associated with the request may be included in the reset email as part of security verification.

Data storage and retention

Comments and related metadata are stored without a fixed expiration period. This allows automatic approval of follow-up comments instead of placing them in moderation.

For users who create an account on the website (if applicable), personal information provided in the user profile is stored. Users can view, update, or delete their personal information at any time, except for the username. Website administrators may also access and manage this data.

Your rights regarding personal data

Users with an account or those who have left comments may request a copy of the personal data stored about them. Users may also request deletion of their personal data. This does not apply to information that must be retained for legal, administrative, or security reasons.
