Who We Are

Arbor Batteries (“we,” “our,” or “us”) operates the website https://arborbi.com. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you visit our website.

Information We Collect

1. Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data provided in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist with spam detection.

Additionally, an anonymized hash (a secure, encrypted version of your email address) may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. You can review Gravatar’s privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if applicable) is displayed publicly alongside your comment.

2. Media

If you upload images to our website, we strongly advise you to remove embedded location data (EXIF GPS) beforehand. Visitors to our site may be able to extract this data from uploaded images.

3. Cookies

We use cookies to enhance your experience on our website. Below is how they function:

  • Comment Cookies: If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to save your name, email, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience, so you don’t have to re-enter details for future comments. These cookies last one year.
  • Login Cookies:
    • When you visit our login page, a temporary cookie checks if your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

  • Collect data about you.
