COLLECTION OF PERSONAL DATA

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site the data shown in the comments form is collected, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymised 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: Privacy Policy Automattic. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Contact Form

When you submit a message by using the contact form on the site the data shown in the contact form is collected, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. Your submission is saved for service purposes only and the information submitted is not used for marketing purposes.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics. To find out more, see here: Privacy Policy Google.

Cookies

This website uses cookies in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

How long your data is retained

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so comments can be recognised and any follow-up comments can be approved automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on the website (if any), the personal information they provide in their user profile is also stored. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data held about you, including any data you have provided. You can also request an erasement of any personal data. This does not include any data the author is obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service (Akismet Anti-Spam).
