This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use and disclosure of Personal Identifying Information (PII) we may receive from users of this website.

What personal data we collect and why we collect it

The following sections detail what data we may collect as you use this website.

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.

You should be aware that anything you post and any PII you disclose in blog comments will be available for others to see, via the Internet, around the world.

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 Form

When a visitor uses the contact form on this site we collect their name and their email address so we can respond to messages sent from the form. We keep contact form submissions for up to 90 days to serve them. We do not use the information submitted for marketing purposes.

At your election, you may provide your email address to subscribe to our newsletter. Your email address and IP address is sent to Mailchimp when you subscribe. We do not sell this information to third parties. For more information about how Mailchimp handles your data, see their Privacy Policy: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/

Cookies

A cookie is a small piece of encrypted text sent by a web server to your browser when you visit a website. A cookie file is stored in your browser and allows the website or a third-party to recognize you and to make the website more useful to you. For instance, 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 until you close your browser).

Please review our cookie policy to see which cookies are used on this website.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this website 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 tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics with anonymized IP addresses to obtain general information about our users’ geographic location, browser type, operating system, referral source, pages visited, and other analytics data. This information is retrieved from Google Analytics by the Analytify WordPress plugin to save us time in accessing and interpreting analytics data. We may review that data from time to time to understand how the website is used and to improve the website for users. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by using the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser add-on or by clicking here to access Analytify’s opt-out feature. You can access Google’s privacy policy here:

You can access Analytify’s data usage policy here: https://analytify.io/data-usage-policy-by-analytify/

We use the Monarch Social Sharing Plugin to track which articles or pages are being shared across different social networks and shared via email and to track social network follow activity. When you share an article or webpage the plugin records your IP address to ensure no duplicate statistics arise. We may review statistics from time to time to understand which articles or pages are popular with users and to understand how the website is being used. We do not currently provide data from this plugin to any third parties. You can access the plugin maker’s privacy policy here:

https://www.elegantthemes.com/policy/privacy/

We use vooPlayer to power our videos. The vooPlayer platform tracks how you interact with the videos on this site: how much of a video you watch, at what points in a video you pause or rewind, etc. In some videos, we may pause the video and request that you provide your email address or name. You are under no obligation to provide this information, but we reserve the right to limit certain videos to identified users. The vooPlayer platform aggregates the data collected through the videos here, including names and email addresses, and provides it to us. The vooPlayer platform does not sell or provide the data it collects to third parties.

The web server may log visitor information for the purpose of maintenance and security. The log does not record the IP Address of the device you used to access a page of this website, but it may record information about the browser and operating system of the device you used. We do not use web server log information to identify you nor combine log information with other analytics data to identify you. However, we may provide log information to the web host (SiteGround) in case of a troubleshooting need.

The web server may record the email address and the IP address of those who send emails to our email inboxes to help us to identify problems in email delivery.

We use Cloudflare to optimize and secure this website. Cloudflare may log data, including a visitor’s IP Address, to help differentiate between good and bad traffic, to mitigate against attacks, and to identify new security threats. This data is stored by Cloudflare and not on our web server. You can view Cloudflare’s privacy policy here: https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/

We use Astra Web Security (Astra) to protect our website from hackers, viruses, malware, and other security threats. Astra collects information to operate, manage and improve its services and ensure the technical functionality and security of its services.

Depending on the settings put in place, Astra may collect a visitor’s IP address, device information, including browser, operating system, and location of that device. They may also collect visitor search queries and when they were made. Astra Web Security’s privacy policy is available here: https://www.getastra.com/privacy

Who we share your data with

We will not provide your email address or any other PII to any other person, other than (i) to Mailchimp or other providers which assist us in sending our newsletter and emails, or (ii) if required to be disclosed by law or in connection with any actual or threatened legal proceeding. Mailchimp’s privacy policy is available here: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy

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.

Contact form submissions are kept for 90 days. This so we can respond to messages sent from the form.

Google Analytics data is retained for 14 months. This is so we can identify trends in how users are accessing and how they are using this website.

Web server visitor log information is maintained for a month before being deleted.

According to Cloudflare, they delete log data within 4 hours.

Information we receive through vooPlayer may be retained for 12 months. This is to help us understand the effectiveness of the videos posted on this website.

Information we receive from Astra Web Security about visitors who have been blocked is retained indefinitely. This is to help us keep this website secure.
