What personal data I collect and why I collect it

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, I collect the data shown in the comments form, 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: https://automattic.com/privacy/. If you are using it, after the approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Contact forms

If you choose to subscribe to my mailing list, I will store the name and email address you provide. This information will be used solely to email you to let you know about new blog posts or information I think you would like to know.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on my site, you may opt in to save 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.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. YouTube videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you have 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

I really value your privacy, therefore I no longer use Google Analytics, I use Independent Analytics to track which pages people are visiting. It is 100% GDPR Compliant and doesn’t use any tracking cookies.

How long I retain your data

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

For users that register on my website (if any), I also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Michael and I 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 I hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data I hold about you. This does not include any data I am obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where I send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Your contact information

This information is fully explained in the What personal Data I collect and how I use it section.

Additional information

How I protect your data

The only people who can log into this website and see the data you have provided are Michael and I (unless our web host Krystal needs to gain access in the event of a major technical incident). The website is only accessed through password protected devices.
