Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how Anirban Beverages, the owner of the MERINA brand (“we”, “us”, or “our”), collects, uses, and shares personal information when you use our WordPress website located at https://anirbanbeverages.com (the “Site”).
Comments
Comments allow users to share their thoughts and opinions on the content on our website. When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form (name, email, website), visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
We recommend avoiding uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. We use these cookies for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will typically last for one year. You can manage or delete cookies through your web browser settings.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content 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, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website, we also 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 left comments, 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 also request that we erase any personal information 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.

Sharing Your Information
We only share your personal information with third-party service providers that perform services on our behalf, such as website hosting, analytics, email marketing, and payment processing. These service providers are contractually obligated to maintain the confidentiality and security of your information and are only authorized to use your information as necessary to provide services to us. [Optional: List specific service providers you work with]. We have data transfer agreements in place with our service providers to ensure adequate data protection.
Your Choices
You may choose not to provide certain personal information, but this may limit your ability to access certain features or services on the Site.
You can opt out of receiving promotional emails from
us by following the instructions provided in those emails or by contacting us directly at [email address]. If you opt out, we may still send you non-promotional communications, such as those related to your account or transactions.
Security
We take reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality and security of your personal information. However, please note that no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
