What personal data we collect and why we collect it
WordPress
This site is built with WordPress which does not collect any personal data about visitors by default.
Email Updates
We use MailChimp to facilitate our visitors’ subscribing to email updates and for sending said email updates. Email updates are sent to our subscribers no more than once per day when new content has been published to the blog for the purpose of notifying subscribers of said new content.
The email address and name (optional) a visitor provides when subscribing to our email updates is not stored on this site but is stored and managed on MailChimp’s servers. Click here to view MailChimp’s privacy policy.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form; and we also collect the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string for 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.
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.
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.
