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.

If you visit our login page, 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.
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 we share your data with
- With Google Analytics and other third-party apps for the purpose of data targeting, re-targeting and analytics

How long we retain your data
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR require us to state the valid legal bases we rely on in order to process your personal information.
We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting or other legal requirements).
Once we no longer have legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymise the information or if this is not possible (for example, should personal information be stored in archived back ups), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
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.
Google Analytics trackers are automatically deleted after 26 months.
What rights you have over your data
Under the GDPR, if you are within the European Union, you are entitled to certain rights such as request to view your information, request to have your information deleted, or your information restricted in how it is processed.
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.
If you are signed up to email list or promotion, or courses with us, you can opt out at any time.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
