Information You Provide
If you contact Feral Flowers through the website, information you voluntarily provide—such as your name, email address and message—may be used to respond to your inquiry.
Feral Flowers does not sell personal information or use contact information for unrelated marketing purposes.
Visitor Statistics
FeralFlowers.com uses WP Visitor Statistics (Real Time Traffic) to understand how visitors use the photographic archive.
The statistics system may process information about visits, pages viewed, browser and operating-system information, referring sources and approximate geographic location. The plugin is designed to provide website statistics without depending on an external analytics service.
This information is used to understand website traffic, maintain the site and improve the visitor experience. The statistics archive is currently configured for a 30-day retention period, and visits made while logged in as a WordPress Administrator are excluded from the statistics.
Visitor statistics are not used by Feral Flowers to build advertising profiles or to identify individual visitors.
Cookies
FeralFlowers.com may use cookies required for the normal operation and administration of WordPress.
Administrative login cookies are used when authorized administrators sign in to manage the website. Other WordPress features or embedded third-party content may use cookies when necessary for their operation.
Embedded content from other websites
Some pages may contain embedded content from other websites, such as videos, images or other media.
Embedded content behaves much as it would if the visitor went directly to the originating website. Those websites may collect information about visitors, use cookies or employ their own tracking technologies according to their respective privacy policies.
WordPress notes that third-party embedded services can collect information that WordPress’s own privacy tools cannot detect, which is why these services should be disclosed separately when used.
User Accounts
Public account registration is not enabled on FeralFlowers.com. Administrative accounts are used only for managing and maintaining the website.
How Long Information Is Retained
Visitor-statistics archive data is currently configured for a 30-day period.

If you have provided personal information to FeralFlowers.com, you may contact Feral Flowers to ask what personal information is held about you or to request its deletion, subject to information that may need to be retained for administrative, security or legal purposes.
