Who We Are
Our website address is https://thesourdoughcode.com.au.
Comments
The site collects data from comment forms, including visitor IP addresses and browser information for spam detection. Email addresses are hashed for Gravatar service integration. Profile pictures become publicly visible with approved comments.
Media
Users should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors can extract this information from website images.
Cookies

Embedded Content

Data Sharing

Your Rights
Account holders can request exported personal data files or request erasure, except where administrative, legal, or security obligations apply.
