Your Data: this blog asks only for your name and email address – sufficient for you to be automatically notified of new posts.
If you use the Contact Form, the data you enter will be kept as long as necessary to deal with the point you make. You will not be registered on this blog unless you choose to be.
However, if you leave a comment, then the data collected will be that on the comments form. The protective programme, Akismet, will also gather your IP address, browser user agent string, referrer and site url to help spam detection.
Also, 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: any media file you upload will be publicly accessible and you should make your own arrangements to protect copyright and usage.
Please ensure that images do not contain embedded location data.
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.
Links and embedded content from other websites: posts and pages 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.
