Who we share your data with

We do not share your data with any other parties unless required by law. We will notify you should there be a request for your information.

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.

Your contact information

We retain any contact information you send us for staying in contact with you and for the purposes of answering any queries or requests you have made from us. We do not share this information with any other parties.

Additional information

How we protect your data

Your data is protected on our servers by a firewall and constant hacker prevention software. All information between your browser and our website is encrypted point-to-point so cannot be eavesdropped on in transit.

What data breach procedures we have in place

We are constantly reviewing our data logs and server statistics to ensure that no attempts to hack and steal information have been made.

Should we have a data breach the relevant authorities and the owners of the data will be notified as soon as the discovery is made.

What third parties we receive data from

We do not process any personal information from any third third party information on our site. We do have SPAM prevention software which exchanges non-identifiable user interactions to determine if they are human or a computer program simulating a person.

What automated decision making and/or profiling we do with user data

There are no automated decisions or profiling decisions made regarding personal information. When you request information from us our email service may dispense information to you based on your requirement or request. It does not use your personal information to determine this but merely your requests.
