Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 10, 2026
At Golaro, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you provide when using our website. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have regarding your personal data.
Our website is: https://golaro.co.ke
Comments
When visitors leave comments on Golaro, we collect the information provided in the comments form, including the visitor’s name, email address, website address, and the content of the comment.
We may also collect the visitor’s IP address and browser user-agent information to help detect and prevent spam, abuse, and other malicious activity.
An anonymized string generated from your email address, also known as a hash, may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine whether you have an account with the service. You can review Gravatar’s privacy policy through Automattic’s Privacy Policy.
Once your comment has been approved, your profile picture may be publicly visible alongside your comment if you have a Gravatar associated with your email address.
Media
If you upload images or other media to Golaro, you should avoid uploading files that contain embedded location information, such as EXIF GPS data.
Visitors may be able to download images from the website and extract embedded location information from those files.
Cookies
Golaro uses cookies and similar technologies to improve website functionality, remember user preferences, and provide a better browsing experience.
If you leave a comment on our website, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website address in cookies. These cookies are designed to make it easier for you to leave subsequent comments without having to enter your information again. These cookies may remain on your device for up to one year.
If you visit our login page, we may place a temporary cookie on your browser to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain personal information and is deleted when you close your browser.
When you log in to an account, cookies may be used to remember your login information and screen-display preferences. Login cookies generally last for two days, while screen-preference cookies may last for up to one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login session may remain active for up to two weeks.
When you log out of your account, login-related cookies are removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie may be stored in your browser. This cookie does not contain personal information and simply identifies the article you most recently edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles published on Golaro may contain embedded content from third-party websites, including videos, images, social media posts, articles, or other forms of media.
Embedded content from third-party websites may function in the same way as if you had visited the third-party website directly. These websites may independently collect information about you, use cookies or other tracking technologies, and monitor your interaction with their embedded content.
If you are logged into an account with the third-party service, that service may be able to associate your interaction with your account.
Golaro does not control the privacy practices of third-party websites and encourages visitors to review the privacy policies of those services.
Who We Share Your Data With
Golaro does not sell or rent your personal information.
We may share limited information with trusted third-party service providers where necessary to operate, secure, maintain, or improve our website and services. These may include services used for spam detection, website security, analytics, hosting, or other essential website functions.
If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the password-reset email for security and verification purposes.
We may also disclose information where required to do so by applicable law, regulation, legal process, or legitimate security requirements.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its associated metadata may be retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and automatically approve legitimate follow-up comments rather than holding every subsequent comment for manual moderation.
For visitors who register for an account on Golaro, we retain the personal information provided in their user profile for as long as the account remains active or as otherwise required for legitimate administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Registered users may view, edit, or delete certain personal information associated with their account. Users cannot change their username where the website system does not provide that functionality.
Website administrators may access and manage account information where necessary to administer and maintain the website.
Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account on Golaro or have left comments on the website, you may request information about the personal data we hold about you.
Where applicable, you may also request an exported copy of your personal information or ask us to delete personal information we hold about you.
These rights are subject to applicable legal, administrative, security, and regulatory requirements. We may retain information where we are legally required or otherwise permitted to do so.

Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be processed through automated spam-detection services to help protect Golaro from spam, abuse, and malicious activity.
Certain website functions may also involve third-party service providers that process information on our behalf. Where this occurs, the relevant providers may process data according to their own privacy policies and applicable data-protection requirements.
Third-Party Services
Golaro may use third-party services to support website functionality, security, analytics, advertising, content delivery, social media integration, or other services.
These providers may collect or process information according to their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of third-party services when interacting with their content or services through Golaro.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our website, services, technology, or applicable legal requirements.
Any changes will be published on this page, and the “Last updated” date will be revised accordingly.
