Who We Are

Welcome to Union Brickworks. Our website address is: Union Brickworks

Union Brickworks is committed to protecting the privacy of our website visitors, customers, and users. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you interact with our website.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our website, we collect the data shown in the comments form along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam and maintain website security.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be shared with the Gravatar service to check whether you are using it. You can review the Gravatar privacy policy here: Gravatar Privacy Policy

After approval of your comment, your profile picture may become publicly visible alongside your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, we recommend avoiding images containing embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website may download and extract location data from uploaded images.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience so you do not need to re-enter your details for future comments. These cookies remain active for one year.

When you visit our login page, a temporary cookie may be set to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal information and is removed when you close your browser.

When you log in, several cookies may be set to save your login information and screen display preferences:

  • Login cookies remain active for two days.
  • Screen option cookies remain active for one year.
  • Selecting “Remember Me” keeps your login active for two weeks.
  • Logging out removes login cookies automatically.

If you edit or publish content on the website, an additional cookie may be stored in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and only identifies the post ID of the edited article. It expires after one day.

Embedded Content From Other Websites

Articles or pages on this website may include embedded content such as videos, images, or articles from external websites. Embedded content behaves in the same way as if the visitor directly visited the external website.

These external websites may:

  • Collect your data
  • Use cookies
  • Implement third-party tracking
  • Monitor your interaction with embedded content

This may include tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged into those websites.

Who We Share Your Data With

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

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata may be retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments instead of holding them for moderation.

For registered users (if applicable), we store the personal information provided within user profiles. Users can:

  • View their personal information
  • Edit their personal information
  • Request deletion of personal information

Website administrators can also access and manage this information where necessary.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

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

  • An exported file containing the personal data we hold about you
  • Deletion of any personal data we hold about you

This does not include any data we are required to retain for legal, administrative, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through automated spam detection services to maintain website security and prevent misuse.
