We may collect personal identification information from visitors in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to: when visitors visit our site; register on the site; subscribe to the newsletter; fill out a form; and in connection with other activities, services, features or resources we make available on our site. Visitors may be asked for, as appropriate: name; email address; mailing address; and phone number.
Non-personal identification information
We may collect non-personal identification information about visitors whenever they interact with our site. Non-personal identification information may include the browser name, the type of computer and technical information about visitors means of connection to our site, such as the operating system and the internet service providers utilised and other similar information.
How we use collected information
We may collect and use visitor’s personal information for the following purposes:
Contact Forms
We may use the visitor’s name and email address to respond to their enquiries, questions, and/or other requests.
Newsletters
Data for newsletter sign-up is transferred directly to Mailchimp. Terms and Conditions can be found at : https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/. By signing up to receiving the newsletter the visitor agrees to these terms and conditions.
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 from the visitor’s email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if the visitor is using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of the visitor’s comment, their profile picture is visible to the public in the context of their comment.
Media
If you upload images onto 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
Our site may use ’cookies’ to enhance visitor experience. Visitor’s web browser places cookies on their hard drive for record-keeping purposes and sometimes to track information about them. Visitors may choose to set their web browser to refuse cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If they do so, note that some parts of the site may not function properly.
If you leave a comment on our site (where applicable), 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 (eg 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 if you have an account and are logged into that website
Sharing your personal information
We do not sell, trade, or rent visitor’s personal identification information to others.
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 visitors 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 do 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
Changes to this privacy policy
We have the discretion to update this privacy policy at any time. When we do, we will revise the updated date at the bottom of this page. We encourage users to frequently check this page for any changes to stay informed about how we are helping to protect the personal information we collect. You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to review this privacy policy periodically and become aware of modifications.
