What personal data we collect and why we collect it
We do not collect personal data other than the name of any contributors, including those who reply or comment; this is used to provide an accreditation to the author of any items that we publish.
The website software (WordPress) will collect the name, email address and, optionally, the website of those who leave feedback or replies to articles. There is a policy statement below on how this information is used.
Replies and Comments
When visitors leave replies or 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. Please refer to the house rules for comments below before adding replies or comments to articles on this site.
House Rules for Comments
- The site manager reserves the right to remove any comments which, in his opinion, break the house rules or are offensive, confrontational or otherwise unacceptable within the context of this website.
- Comments must be polite and respectful of other people’s points of view, even when disagreeing with them.
- Comments should be relevant to the article to which they are attached.
- Comments should be succinct – lengthy arguments loose the attention of the reader.
- Comments may include quotations but they must be correctly accredited – use a ‘url’ reference in preference to long quotations.
- Comments cannot include graphics, photos, etc. Give a ‘url’ reference and a brief description of the illustration instead.
- Comments must not be of an advertising nature. Reference may be made to products or services but only in the context of the writer’s own experience.
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. The Gravatar service is not enabled on this site.

The management of this website has a policy of not releasing contact information to third parties.
Any third party requests for contact details will be referred to the person being sought, for them to respond directly to the enquirer as they wish.
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.

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. This is integral to the site construction software and we do not retain any data arising from it.
We do not disclose digital date to third parties, except when there is a legal obligation to do so.
