Who are we?
What private data we keep and why we track it
Comments
We have chosen to turn comments off on our posts, so there won’t be any collection
of information here.

Contact forms
If you contact us on our contact us page on our site, we will answer using the email
address that you gave us with. This will NOT subscribe you to any newsletters, and
we will NOT provide your details out to other third parties.
Cookies
We place cookies on a few of our pages in order to track the success of our paid
traffic from Facebook, Google and other sources.
This allows us to see if people are clicking through to our site, and if they are going
further or not, and lets us make more educated decisions.
We do not get any private information from this, and we do not pass on our pixel with
any third parties.
Logging in
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to keep your login details and
your screen display preferences. Login cookies last for 2 days, and screen preference cookies last for 12 months. If you tick “Remember Me”, your login will persist for a fortnight. If you sign out of your account, the sign in cookies will be deleted. If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal information and just indicates the post ID of the
blog post you just edited. It is removed after 1 day.
Embedded content from unrelated websites
Posts on this website 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 obtain information about you, use cookies, embed extra third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content,
including analysing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an
account and are logged in to that site.
Analytics
Who we share your data with
We do not share information with third parties, however we do place Facebook
and/or Google pixels so that we can track the performance of our paid advertising.
This does not give us any personal information, but allows us to make better choices
based on the general trend.
How long we retain your personal information
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This is
so we can recognise and approve any follow up comments automatically instead of
keeping them in a moderation queue.
For people that register on our site (if any), we also keep the personal data they give
us in their user profile.
All users can see, edit, or erase their personal information at any time (except they
cannot change their username).
Website admin can also view and update those details.
What rights you have over your data
If you have a profile on this website, or have left comments (currently turned off), you
may request to obtain 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 private information we hold about you.
This excludes any information we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or
security purposes.
DMCA Policy
We respect the intellectual property rights of others just as we expect others to
respect our rights. Pursuant to Digital Millennium Copyright Act, Title 17, United
States Code, Section 512(c), a copyright owner or their agent may submit a
takedown notice to us via our DMCA Agent listed below. As an internet service
provider, we are entitled to claim immunity from said infringement claims pursuant to
the “safe harbor” provisions of the DMCA. To submit a good faith infringement claim
to us, you must submit notice to us that sets forth the following information:
Notice of Infringement – Claim
1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner (or someone authorized
to act on behalf of the owner);
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed;
3. Identification of the infringing material to be removed, and information reasonably
sufficient to permit the service provider to locate the material. [Please submit the
URL of the page in question to assist us in identifying the allegedly offending work];
Information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to contact the
complaining party including your name, physical address, email address, phone
number, and fax number;
4. A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that the use of the
material is unauthorized by the copyright agent; and
5. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and, under penalty
of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the copyright
owner.
Title 17 USC §512(f) provides civil damage penalties, including costs and attorney
fees, against any person who knowingly and materially misrepresents certain
information in a notification of infringement under 17 USC §512(c)(3).
Send all takedown notices through our Contact page. Please send by email for
prompt attention.
Please note that we may share the identity and information in any copyright
infringement claim we receive with the alleged infringer. In submitting a claim, you
understand accept and agree that your identity and claim may be communicated to
the alleged infringer.
Counter-Notification – Restoration of Material
If you have received a notice of material being takedown because of a copyright
infringement claim, you may provide us with a counter-notification in an effort to
have the material in question restored to the site. Said notification must be given in
writing to our DMCA Agent and must contain substantially the following elements
pursuant to 17 USC Section 512(g)(3):
1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. A description of the material that has been taken down and the original location of
the material before it was taken down.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the
material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the
material to be removed or disabled.
4. Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to
the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which the
address is located (or if you are outside of the United States, that you consent to the
jurisdiction of any judicial district in which the service provider may be found), and
that you will accept service of process from the person or company who provided
the original infringement notification.
5. Send your counter notice through our Contact page. Email is highly recommended.
Repeat Infringer Policy
We take copyright infringement very seriously. Pursuant to the repeat infringer policy
requirements of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, we maintain a list of DMCA
notices from copyright holders and make a good faith effort to identify any repeat
infringers. Those that violate our internal repeat infringer policy will have their
accounts terminated.
