What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

The website uses cookies to improve your experience. If you wish, you can reject cookies which means that non-essential ones won’t be used (such as Google Ads). The website also uses an anti-spam plugin relating to comments which are submitted for articles on the site. This plugin has additional information regarding privacy, and is only appropriate if you submit comments to articles on this site.

We do not collect email or username information unless you submit an event or an article/news. The information collected then is used for recognising who submitted the event or news item or article and is not used for any other marketing purposes.

Should you wish to see the data that was collected for a submission to the site, or for that data to be removed contact us.

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 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.

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.

Who we share your data with

We do not share your data with any third parties. Nor will we ever consider selling the data to a third party.

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. If you wish to start this process, contact us.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
