Privacy Policy

What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Contact Forms and Cookies

If you contact us via our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and other details 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.

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.

Analytics

We employ the use of Google and Bing Analytics to measure the number of visitors to our site. This process uses cookies to track your page views, IP address and other non-personally identifiable information.

Data Retention

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.

Your Rights

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. We will never share (or sell) your personal data with an external third-party, other than in the normal fulfilment of your request and only then with your knowledge and permission.

How We Protect Your Data

We use industry standard encryption across the entirity of our site. Your data is securely stored and only accessible by members of our team. We also deploy strong passwords to secure our customer data.
