What personal data is collected and why.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site the data collected is 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 (if one has been uploaded) is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Contact forms
When you complete the contact form from this site no data is collected until the send button is clicked. The form then sends me an email with all the data you supplied in the various fields as well as informs me as to whether you opted in or out of receiving emails about my product updates and/or if you wish to receive the occasional newsletter email from me. I will retain this information for as long as reasonably required so I can contact you, or know not to contact you (depending on how you opted to receive info from me).
Cookies

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.

Google Analytics is used to monitor and analyse website traffic to this site. Google Analytics can collect the following basic data:

Who your data is shared with.
I do not share any of the data collected on this site to any other third parties.
How long is your data retained?
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so I can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on this website (if any), the personal information they provide in their user profile is also retained. 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 that is held about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that any personal data held about you is erased. 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.
Additional information
How we protect your data
We currently do not have any formal process to protect your data other than keeping the content management system and plugins up-to-date to prevent hackers obtaining access to this site.
What data breach procedures we have in place
If I should become aware of any data breach through the spam filters in place on this site then I will contact the hosting company for advice on how to lock-down the site to minimise and contain the breach.
