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.
Contact forms
If you use one of our contact forms to send us a message we will use the information you send us to contact you about your query. This is solely for the ease of contacting you or conducting business with you, and will not be used for any other purpose.
Messages sent by our contact form are emailed to us using Gmail. Gmail may store emails on servers that are outside of the EU/EEA. We will keep our account secure, and if we do not need to store your information to contact you again in the future, we will delete your emails in a timely manner.

Who we share your data with
We do not ‘share’ your data with anyone. Our website administrator and our website host technically have access to our website for the purposes of ensuring it stays up-to-date and secure. This protects you as a visitor and us as a business. This may include access to personal data in the form of an IP address, which are logged for security purposes for a short period of time, or information you send to us via email.
We also use a website security plugin to help prevent us from being attacked.
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 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.
We may store or transfer some or all of your personal data in countries that are not part of the European Economic Area (the “EEA” consists of all EU member states, plus Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein).
