Who we are
Our website address is: https://dhopest.com.
At Dhopest, your privacy is important to us. This policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your information when you interact with our platform.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you use it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if any) will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website (e.g., for product reviews or profile avatars), you should avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract location data from such images.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience, so you don’t have to re-enter your details when leaving another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we’ll set a temporary cookie to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded once you close your browser.
When you log in, we’ll also set up several cookies to store your login information and screen display preferences:
- Login cookies last for two days.
- Screen options cookies last for one year.
- If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks.
- Logging out will remove login cookies.
If you edit or publish content (e.g., a review or article), an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply records the post ID of the item you just edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded content from other websites
Articles or product pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, product listings). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you visited the other website directly.
These external sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, especially 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. Additionally, we may share your information with trusted third-party services like payment gateways, shipping partners, and analytics providers—but only to process your orders or improve your experience.
We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except their username). Website administrators can also access and modify that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you’ve provided. You can also request that we erase your personal data. This does not include any data we are obligated to keep for administrative, legal, or security reasons.
To request this, please contact: [privacy@dhopest.com]
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Additionally, some data may be stored or processed on servers outside your home country, depending on the service providers we use.
