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.
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 and purchases
Our contact form collects your name, telephone number, e-mail address and any other personal data you enter in the message box. This information will be stored on the back end of my website, and also in my business e-mail. This is a Microsoft Office 365 e-mail, accessed via a laptop with a password. The laptop is stored securely in my home office.
If you become a client, this information will be retained for duration of our working relationship plus 12 months, then archived.
If you do not become a client, I will archive this information after 12 months to my Microsoft Office 365 server, and can delete upon request.
For any purchases made on my website, I will collect your name, billing address, telephone number, e-mail and any other personal data entered at the time of checkout. I do not collect any payment information as this is handled solely by PayPal.
