Welcome to OfficeChairsDirect.co.za, the online platform for all your chair shopping needs. Our website address is: https://officechairsdirect.co.za.

Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the following data to provide a better experience and to prevent spam:
- Data from the comments form, which includes the name, email address, and the content of the comment.
- The visitor’s IP address.
- The visitor’s browser user agent string.
Additionally, if you use the Gravatar service, an anonymized string created from your email address (hash) may be provided to Gravatar to check if you have a profile picture. You can review Gravatar’s privacy policy at [Gravatar Privacy Policy Link].
Please be aware that, after approval of your comment, your profile picture will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Cookies
We use cookies to enhance your experience on our website. Here is how we use cookies:
-
If you leave a comment on our site, you have the option to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience, so you don’t have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
-
When you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
-
If you log in to our website, we set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Our articles may include embedded content, such as videos, images, and articles, from other websites. This embedded content behaves in the same way as if you had visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, both the comment and its metadata will be retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website (if any), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on our site or have left comments, you have the following rights over your data:
- You can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us.
- You can request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
