Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site 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.

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/. 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.

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.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (for example videos, images or 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 tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Contact forms

If you contact us via a contact form, email or telephone, we will collect the information you provide in order to respond to your enquiry. This may include your name, email address and any other information you choose to provide.

We will only use your information to respond to your enquiry unless you have explicitly consented to receive further communications.

Lawful basis for processing

We process personal data on the following lawful bases:

  • Consent – where you have given clear consent for us to process your personal data.
  • Legitimate interests – where processing is necessary for our legitimate interests and does not override your rights.
  • Legal obligation – where we are required to comply with a legal obligation.

Who we share your data with

We do not sell or trade your personal data.

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

We may share data with trusted third-party service providers (such as website hosting providers or spam detection services) where necessary for the operation of the website.

How long we retain your data

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

For users that register on our website (if any), we 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). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Enquiry data submitted via contact forms will be retained only for as long as necessary to deal with the enquiry and for reasonable record-keeping purposes.

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 we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us.

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.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) if you believe your data has been handled improperly.

Where your data is sent

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

4. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction.

5. Changes to this policy

We may update this document from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page.
