Privacy Policy

My name is Kevin. I used the default, suggested page for this information, then added my own comments in bold text below.  That’s the important bit.

Who we are

Our website address is: http://sweatybrow.com/wp.

What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, the blog software automatically collects the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.  I, the guy in the photos, do not do anything with this information except perhaps reply to your comment using your name.

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.  I, the guy in the photos, don’t really care at all about “Gravatar” and “anonymized strings”.

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.  I, the guy in the photos, don’t think you should upload anything to this site.

Contact forms

I, the guy in the photos, got nothing…

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. I, the guy in the photos, have embedded a couple of videos from YouTube on here. If you don’t like YouTube having a little bit of your data, you should probably avoid the internet, because a lot of sites embed videos from YouTube.

Analytics

I, the guy in the photos, have a little thing on here that lets me know a little bit of information about people who visit. Where in the world the internet says you are visiting from, how you got here (Did you click a link in my Instagram profile? On my YouTube profile? Etc.), how many of my pages you visited, and so on. I don’t do anything with that information!

Who we share your data with

NOBODY!  Well, maybe my wife, if you’re from a foreign, exotic land. And probably my dog.

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.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site (hint: you don’t), 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. I, the guy in the photos, will do the best I can to export the data about you. I will also do the best I can to delete said data, if requested. I can’t think of any possible reason, ever, that I would be “obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.” So there’s that…

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. It is called “Akismet”. Lots of blogs and websites use it.

Your contact information

I, the guy in the photos, don’t really want it, thanks.
