What personal data we collect and why we collect it
When you use one of our forms to sign up to our mailing list we collect only your email address. You will receive several introductory emails following sign up. You can expect to receive approximately one email per week.
The country where you signed up is also stored. This enables us to see the demographic of visitors to the website so that we can tailor our content accordingly.
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. Your name and website (if you provide it) may be displayed on the site if you post a comment on a blog post. However, your e-mail address and privacy will always be kept secure and private.
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.
