What it is

Log In
If you attempt to log into my blog, you are violating UK law – by doing so, your rights are waived. Your IP address will be logged and blocked for a very long time. No one needs to log in except me, and with a 20+ character username and password don’t bother trying.
Comments
Comments can be made without signing in, as the 150-a-day junk Russian ones prove.
Please don’t comment in Russian, they go straight in the bin as do those containing certain “keywords”.
When visitors leave comments on the site it collects 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.
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.
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, it 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, it 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.
Who do I share your data with
No one, as long as you are not breaking the law.
Anyone attempting to hack my blog/server, writing offensive comments etc. can expect zero tolerance and law enforcement notified.
How long I retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata could be retained indefinitely. This is so it can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
Most comments are spam and deleted but you waive your rights when you commit a crime under UK law. If you get added to a blacklist it’s your fault.
No one can register.
What rights you have over your data
You cannot create an account.
But if you have left comments, and I haven’t deleted them then you are very much aware of how little I store. I will delete your comment upon a valid request (proof).
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
