What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Client-provided data

We may collect personal data from clients whenever they contact us by email regarding our services. This is stored on a Gmail email account to help us to communicate effectively with you. This information may also be synced across devices and applications (e.g. Apple Mail on a MacBook) when accessing emails via a client.

Sensitive data will also be stored on our accounting software for invoicing and record-keeping purposes. This service is currently provided by ZipBooks. For ZipBooks’ privacy policy please contact us.

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

From time to time, we may include contact forms to enable us to collect details from you in order to perform a specific service (e.g. add you to our mailing list). This data will be stored with the third party providing the specific contact form. We will only use the data for the purpose noted in the contact form. However, we are unable to control what the third party does with the data. On request, we will provide any privacy policy the third party contact form provider has made public.

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 have an account and you log in to this site, 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.

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.
