Who We Are

We're a community-focused Brasserie Artisanale dedicated to creating exceptional beer experiences and fostering meaningful connections. This website serves as our digital taproom, where we share our story and keep you updated on what's brewing.

Information We Gather

Comments and Interactions

When you leave feedback or comments on our site, we collect the information you provide in the submission form. Additionally, we capture your IP address and browser user agent string to help us identify and prevent spam or unwanted content.

We may create an anonymized hash from your email address and send it to Gravatar to display your profile picture if you use that service. After your comment is approved, your profile image becomes publicly visible alongside your contribution. You can review Gravatar's privacy terms on their website.

Media Files You Upload

If you upload photos or images to our website, please be mindful that these files may contain embedded location data such as GPS coordinates. Other visitors could potentially download these images and extract this location information from them.

Cookies We Use

When you submit a comment through our site, you'll have the option to save your name, email address, and website URL in cookies for your convenience. This way, you won't need to re-enter this information for future comments. These cookies remain active for one year.

If you access our login page, we'll set a temporary cookie to verify that your browser accepts cookies. This temporary cookie contains no personal data and is automatically removed when you close your browser.

When you log into your account, we create several cookies to store your login credentials and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen preference cookies last for one year. If you select the "remember me" option, your login session will persist for two weeks. Logging out removes your login cookie.

If you edit or publish content on our site, an additional cookie is saved to your browser. This cookie doesn't include personal information—it simply stores the post ID you just edited and expires after one day.

Content From Other Websites

Our articles and pages may feature embedded content from other platforms, such as videos, images, or social media posts. This embedded content functions exactly as if you visited those external websites directly.

These third-party sites may collect information about you, use cookies, embed additional tracking tools, and monitor your interactions with their embedded content—particularly if you're logged into an account on their platform.

How We Use Your Information

If you request a password reset for your account, your IP address will be included in the reset email we send you for security purposes.

Data Retention Periods

When you leave a comment on our site, both the comment itself and its associated metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve your future comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For registered user accounts on our website, we also store the personal information provided in your profile. You can view, edit, or delete your personal information at any time (except for your username). Site administrators also have the ability to view and modify this information.

Your Privacy Rights

If you have an account with us or have left comments on our site, you can request to receive an export file containing all the personal data we hold about you, including any information you've provided to us. You can also request that we delete all personal data we have about you. Please note that this doesn't include data we're required to keep for administrative, legal, or security reasons.

How We Share Your Data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service to help maintain the quality and safety of our community discussions.
