Our Website and Privacy Practices:

Our website, accessible at https://zahranconstruction.com, values your privacy and aims to transparently communicate how we handle your information.

Comments:

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect data provided in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to aid in spam detection. Additionally, an anonymized string generated from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to identify if you are using it. Upon approval of your comment, your profile picture will be publicly visible alongside your comment.

Media:

When uploading images to our website, please refrain from including embedded location data (EXIF GPS) as visitors can download and extract this information from the images.
