What this site is and how it handles data
Play Marjan Island is a small WordPress site that publishes posts about Al Marjan Island and related design and travel topics. We do not sell anything and we do not run ads or affiliate tracking. The site includes a contact form and an open comment area on posts. As with most sites, our hosting and content delivery network keep technical logs so the site can be delivered reliably and safely.
Information you choose to send us
Contact form. If you write to us through the site’s contact form, we receive the information you enter (for example your name, email address, and message) and any files you attach. We use these details only to reply and handle your request.
Email. If you email us directly at one of the addresses listed below, we receive whatever you include in that message along with standard email routing metadata.
Comments on articles
When you leave a comment, WordPress asks for your comment text and may request your name, email address, and an optional website field. If you submit a comment, WordPress can set cookies on your device to remember your details for next time.
Your IP address and browser user agent may be sent with the comment to help detect spam and manage security. Submitted comments are held for moderation and, once approved, are published together with the name you provided. Your email address is not published.
Cookies and local storage
WordPress may place small cookies that are necessary for basic functions:
• Commenter convenience cookies that remember your name, email, and website for approximately one year if you choose to save them.
• Administrator/session cookies that keep a logged-in site administrator authenticated. Visitors who are not logged in do not receive these session cookies.
Our content delivery network may use strictly necessary cookies or similar technology to route traffic and balance load. We do not use analytics cookies on this site.
Server logs and technical data
Our hosting environment and CDN automatically record requests to the site. These logs typically include your IP address, the date and time of the request, the resource requested, and your browser user agent and referrer. We use this data to deliver content, prevent abuse, debug problems, and keep the site secure. Access to logs is limited to those who operate the site and our infrastructure providers.
Why we keep data and for how long
• Contact queries: kept as long as needed to respond and follow up, then archived or deleted.
• Comments: kept and displayed indefinitely while the post and comment remain published. If you ask us to remove a comment you authored, we will do so unless we have a legitimate reason to keep a record (for example, to comply with legal obligations or to maintain the integrity of a discussion).
• Cookies: expire on their own schedule as noted above or when you clear your browser.
• Server and CDN logs: retained according to routine rotation schedules set by our providers, which typically cycle automatically after a short period.
Who can see your data
• The site operator, for moderation and correspondence.
• Our hosting provider and content delivery network, which process technical traffic and logs so the site works.
• Email services that transmit messages you send to the published contact addresses.
We do not sell personal information and we do not share it with advertisers.
Your choices and rights
You may request a copy of the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it where applicable. You can also object to or restrict certain processing. If you withdraw a previously given consent, that will not affect processing that already happened lawfully.
To make a request, email one of the addresses below and tell us enough to locate your information (for example, the URL of a comment). You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority in your region.

This site is aimed at a general audience and is not directed to children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a minor has provided personal information through this site, contact us and we will address it.
