At Express Zone (https://expresszone.co.uk), your privacy is of utmost importance to us. This policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal data.
Who We Are
Our website address is: https://expresszone.co.uk. Express Zone is dedicated to offering engaging content while respecting and protecting your privacy.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data provided in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent to assist with spam detection. An anonymized string generated from your email address (also known as a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture, if applicable, will be visible to the public.
Media
If you upload images to the website, ensure they do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract location data from images on the site.
Cookies
When you leave a comment on our site, you can opt to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for future convenience. These cookies last for one year.
If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will be set to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie is discarded once you close your browser.
Upon logging in, additional cookies will be created to save your login information and screen preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.

Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on Express Zone may contain embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content behaves the same as if you visited the originating website. These third-party sites may collect data about you, use cookies, track your interaction, and monitor your engagement with their embedded content, especially if you are logged in to their website.
Who We Share Your Data With

How Long We Retain Your Data
When you leave a comment, both the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically approve follow-up comments without holding them for moderation.
For users who register on our site, we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for their username. Website administrators can also access and manage this information.
Your Data Rights
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including the data you’ve provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold. This does not apply to data we are legally 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.
