Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site or contact us through our contact form 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.
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.
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.
Affiliate links
This site includes affiliate links. Affiliate links are provided by the AmazonAssociates program. If you click on an affiliate link, a cookie will be stored to track the activity. The cookie only lasts a short time. If you subsequently purchase the linked book, the staff of this blog will receive a small commission from Amazon. You, the buyer, will not pay anything extra to facilitate that commission.
Opt-in newsletter
We use MailerLite to manage our opt-in email newsletter. MailerLite is a GDPR-compliant email marketing service. Please read the MailerLite Privacy Policy for more details.
The information you provide when you sign up to our newsletter will only be used to provide you with updates, advertising opportunities, and book recs. We will not sell or rent your details to any other party. Your privacy is important to us! You can unsubscribe anytime.
Who we share your data with
As outlined in other sections above, some data is shared with Gravatar, Amazon, and Google for the purposes of managing your interaction with this site and the affiliate program.
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.
If you have signed up to our newsletter, we will retain your data as long as you are receiving the newsletter. If you unsubscribe, some limited data may remain in the MailerLite dashboard. This is retained in case you resubscribe at a later date, and to retain open and click-through statistics. At your request, we can purge the remaining data about you from our account.
What rights you have over your data
If you 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 your data is sent
Visitor comments and contact form messages may be checked through an automated spam detection service. This site uses reCAPTCHA v.3 to protect all forms on the site. reCAPTCHA is subject to the Google Privacy Policy. Google uses the information you enter into any forms on this site to check for suspicious bot-like activity.
