At RT66 Collectibles, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your data when you visit our website.

Who We Are

Our website address is: https://Route66Collectibles.com.

Information We Collect and Why

Comments

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

An anonymized string generated from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to verify if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture is publicly visible alongside your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images hosted on the site.

Cookies

  • Comment Cookies: If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so you do not have to fill in your details again for future comments. These cookies last for one year.
  • Login & Session Cookies:
    • If 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.
    • When you log in, we set up several cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen option cookies last for one year.
    • If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out removes all login cookies.
  • Publishing Cookies: If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data, simply indicates the post ID of the edited article, and expires after 24 hours.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same manner as if the visitor had visited the third-party website directly.

These third-party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional tracking tools, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content—including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Data Sharing & Automation

  • Password Resets: If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
  • Spam Detection: Visitor comments may be processed through an automated spam detection service.

How Long We Retain Your Data

  • Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This enables us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically rather than holding them in a moderation queue.
  • Registered Accounts: For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for changing their username). Website administrators can also view and edit that information.

Your Data Rights

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any information you have provided to us.

You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This request does not include any data we are obligated to retain for legal, administrative, or security purposes.
