What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

If 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.

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.

Ordering

When [or if] you log in to place an order, 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 (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 in to that website.

Who we share your data with

Personal data consisting of name, address and a contact email will be shared with our payment service providers (Stripe and PayPal) if payment is made via the website. These are secure means of payment.

Data may also be shared with Woo Commerce and WordPress for the execution of orders and for analytical purposes.

How long we retain your data

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.

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.

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.

Where we send your data

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

Your contact information

We will only use your contact information to communicate with you regarding any comments, or to process and fulfil orders. Contact information will not be passed on to third parties for marketing purposes.

Additional information

How we protect your data

When placing orders directly from the website [if this facility is available] you will be redirected to the Stripe (or PayPal) website for secure payment. This means that no payment details will be entered directly on this site.

Our legal bases for holding and using personal data are for performance of a contract (i.e. a purchase) or by consent if you contact us and provide your contact information.

What data breach procedures we have in place

Should a data breach occur for any reason it will be reported to the ICO as required by law and fully investigated to ensure that it cannot happen again.

What third parties we receive data from

We may receive unpersonalised data from Google Search and Google Analytics. Google do use IP addresses but these are not disclosed to website owners. It may include identifiers for mobile devices (e.g., Android Advertising Identifier or Advertising Identifier for iOS). See https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites?hl=en-GB&gl=uk for more information on Google technolgies.

We may receive some personal data via Stripe, Paypal and/or Woo Commerce so that we can process orders.

What automated decision making and/or profiling we do with user data

We do not do any automated decision making or profiling of data.
