What personal data we collect and why
We collect and process personal data only where necessary and with an appropriate lawful basis under UK GDPR (e.g. your consent, our legitimate interests, or contract performance).
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 with spam detection.
Cookies
Our site uses cookies and similar technologies. 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. This cookie includes no personal data.
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.
Who we share your data with
We do not sell your personal data. We may share it only where necessary:
- With service providers (e.g., hosting, spam detection) under strict contracts.
- Where required by law, or to protect our rights.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. We keep other data only as long as necessary for the purpose collected, or as required by law.
What rights you have over your data
Under UK GDPR, you have rights including:
- Access to your personal data
- Correction of inaccurate data
- Erasure (“right to be forgotten”) in certain cases
- Restriction of processing
- Objection to processing (e.g., for legitimate interests)
- Data portability
- Withdraw consent (where we rely on consent)
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. To exercise any rights, contact us at [your privacy email]. We will respond within one month (extendable if complex). You can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at https://ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/ if unsatisfied.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service (which may involve data transfers — we use providers compliant with UK GDPR rules).
