What personal data I collect and why I collect it
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
If you submit a contact form, I keep it until you no longer need customer service. I do not use the information submitted through contact forms for marketing purposes with the exception of the Newsletter Subscription form. See Newsletters for more details.
Newsletters
When you submit a mailing list form I collect your name and email address via MailChimp. I do not share your information with anyone and I only use it for sending my newsletters. I keep your information for as long as you are subscribed. Once you terminate a subscription by clicking Unsubscribe at the bottom of you email, I will no longer keep your information. You can read MailChimp’s Legal Policies Here.
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.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
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 tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Analytics
I use Google Analytics on EmmettsExpeditions.com and blog.EmmettesExpeditions.com. Google Analytics is a service that grabs data about my visitors (you). Google Analytics records:
What website you came from to get here.
How long you stay for.
What kind of computer you’re using.
And quite a bit more.
What do I do with your data?
The tracking information allows me to better understand the type of people who visit my sites and what content they’re reading. This allows me to make better decisions about my website design and writing. Occasionally, I will compile statistics about the number of visitors these sites receive and browsers being used. No personally identifying data is included in this type of reporting.
All of my activity falls within the bounds of the Google Analytics Terms of Service.
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
For purposes of EU data protection law, I, Ashley Shelton, am the data controller of your personal information. If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact me at Ashley@emmettsexpeditions.com.
