What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Your name and address are collected only when you volunteer this information. You will be asked to opt in to providing this when you subscribe to the site, leave a comment, or request contact. We collect this personal information only as appropriate to accomplish the purpose of the interaction.

Comments

If you leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also your IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

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.

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 forms

If you submit the Contact Me form, you’re opting in to save your name and email address in cookies on this browser for one year. This is for your convenience so you don’t have to complete the form when you contact us again. Your email address will not be published or used for marketing purposes.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

We also use cookies to help analyze the use and performance of the website (please refer to Analytics).

You can instruct your browser to delete or refuse to accept cookies. Since the way to do this varies depending on the browser and the version, please consult the help pages of your web browser. Please note however that if you refuse cookies, you may not be able to store your preferences or use all the services offered.

Embedded content from other websites

Pages or posts on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). 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 tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged into that website.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service, to analyze use of our web site. The data they collect may include your IP address, browser type and version, the site pages you visit, and when you visited. The information gathered is used to create reports for us to improve this web site. Google’s Privacy Policy is available at: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

How long your data is retained

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

What rights you have over your data

If you have left comments on this site, 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 that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where we send your data

Your comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service, which collects your IP address, user agent, referrer, and site URL.
