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 anonymised 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 subscribe to our contact form we will store your email address until you unsubscribe from the mailing list. This can be found at the bottom of any email you receive from us.
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.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
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
Who we share your data with
We will not share your data with any 3rd parties, unless specified here, without your consent.
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
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.
VAT Compliance and Data Collection
To ensure compliance with European Value-Added Tax (VAT) regulations, we use a third party service provided by EAS Project (easproject.com) for VAT reporting. This service
collects and processes certain sales data from our checkout process solely for the purpose
of VAT reporting to European tax authorities. The information collected includes:
- Transaction details (e.g., product or service purchased, amount paid)
- Customer information (e.g., billing and shipping address, VAT identification number
if applicable)
Purpose of Data Collection
The collected data is used exclusively for: - Calculating and reporting VAT owed to European tax authorities
- Ensuring compliance with relevant VAT laws and regulations
Data Security
EAS Project employs robust security measures to protect your data during transmission
and storage. We have entered into a data processing agreement with EAS Project to
ensure that your data is handled securely and in accordance with applicable data
protection laws.
Data Sharing
We do not share your personal data with EAS Project for any purpose other than VAT
compliance. Your data will not be sold, rented, or disclosed to third parties for marketing or
other purposes.
