Who we share your data with

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 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

How we protect your data

What data breach procedures we have in place

Currently we have not collected any user data which can identify a user. If we do, it will be mailing list data held by Mail Chimp. In the case of a breach of their system, we will wait to see what the advise is from Mail Chimp and then follow that.

What third parties we receive data from

Some assets on this site may be supplied via CDN, both hosted by the developer and also linking to select third party scripts. These scripts may be updated without the developers knowledge.

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

None at this time. The developer might do some A/B testing on the homepage at some point, but I’ll update this as I do.

Industry regulatory disclosure requirements
