Who We Are

At The Smokey Carter, we are committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of our visitors to our website. Our main aim is to share our love for BBQ and bring you award winning products to help bring flavour to cooking both indoors and out.

We want you to know that The Smokey Carter is not in the business of selling, renting or trading email lists with other companies and businesses for marketing purposes. We just don’t do that sort of thing. But just in case you don’t believe us, in this Privacy Policy, we’ve provided detailed information on when and why we collect your personal information, how we use it and how we keep it secure.

Type of Data We Collect

Commenting or Reviewing

When visitors leave comments on the site via the blog section or reviewing our products we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. To be fair the majority of comments we had were all from spambots so we have deactivated the majority of commenting on the site. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
