What personal data we collect and why we collect it
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 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.
Media
If you upload images to 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.
Contact forms
If you submit information on one of our contact forms, your email address and the submission content will be saved indefinitely on the contact site.
Downloaded articles
If you download materials through our shop/free download page, we ask for and save your email address. Your email address is only used to send you the download links and a receipt, but it is retained indefinitely to facilitate future downloads.
Subscription to Notifications
The site affords you the opportunity to subscribe to our notification list, which is maintained through Mailchimp and subject to their privacy policy. No user of this site is automatically added to our Mailchimp list. Contact information provided to our notification list is retained indefinitely or until the user requests to be removed. Notifications made to the list include instructions for unsubscribing and for removing personal information from the notification list. Personal information provided to our notification list may be used to select which notifications to send you based, for example, on your geographic location or your specific areas of interest.
Comments and 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, the PayPal gateway for purchased downloads, 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 tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
We do not share any personal data collected on this site, or acquired through subscriptions to our notification service.
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 download articles from our website, we store email addresses indefinitely. These addresses are only used to deliver links to the requested downloads.
What rights you have over your data
If you have downloaded articles, 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.
