At Whitfield Service Station Limited and Whitfield Foods Ltd, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal information is handled securely. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, store, and protect your data when you interact with our website. Please take a moment to read this document carefully to understand our practices regarding your personal information.
What Information We Collect
When you visit Whitfield Service Station Limited and Whitfield Foods Ltd, we may collect certain information about you to enhance your experience on our platform. This includes data provided directly by you, such as your name, email address, and any comments or messages you submit through forms on our site. Additionally, we may automatically collect technical information like your IP address, browser type, operating system, and device details to help us improve the functionality of our website and prevent fraudulent activities.
If you choose to upload images or other media to our site, please be aware that these files could contain metadata such as location data. While we do not actively extract or use this metadata, it is accessible to others who download the content. We recommend reviewing and removing sensitive information from files before uploading them.
Use of Cookies
To make your browsing experience more convenient, we use cookies—small text files stored on your device. These cookies allow us to remember your preferences, such as your login details and display settings, so you don’t have to re-enter them each time you return to our site.
For instance, if you leave a comment, you can opt to save your name, email, and website in cookies for future visits. These cookies will remain valid for one year unless you clear them manually. Similarly, temporary cookies are used during login processes to verify whether your browser supports cookies; these are discarded once you close your browser.
When you log into your account, additional cookies are set to maintain your session and save your screen preferences. Login-related cookies last for two days, while screen options persist for up to a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login credentials will stay active for two weeks. Logging out removes all associated cookies immediately.
Embedded Content from Third Parties
Our website may feature embedded content sourced from external platforms, such as videos, images, or articles. When interacting with such embedded elements, they function similarly to visiting the original source directly. These third-party websites might collect data about you, utilize their own cookies, or track your interactions based on your activity on their platform. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these external sites to better understand their data practices.
Sharing Your Data
We respect your privacy and do not share your personal information with third parties unless required by law or necessary to fulfill specific requests initiated by you. For example, if you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the email sent to facilitate this process.
Data Retention
Any comments or contributions you make on our site are retained indefinitely to ensure continuity and streamline moderation efforts. Registered users can manage their personal profiles, including viewing, editing, or deleting their information at any time. Administrators also have access to this data to assist with support queries or administrative tasks.
Your Rights Over Your Data
As a user of Whitfield Service Station Limited and Whitfield Foods Ltd, you have rights over the personal data we hold about you. Upon request, we can provide an export file containing all the information you’ve shared with us. You also have the right to ask us to delete your data entirely, except where retention is mandated by legal obligations or operational requirements.
Security Measures
We employ industry-standard security measures to safeguard your data against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute protection.
Automated Spam Detection
Visitor comments and submissions may be processed through automated systems designed to detect and filter spam. This helps us maintain a safe and relevant environment for all users.
