Comments
If 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.
Analytics data is collected by Google so we can see what interest our users and what new pages and posts we may need to develop.
Media
We currently do not allow uploads of media to this website by our users.
Contact forms
The website uses a number of contact forms and as such we use cookies to facilitate that process. Minimal data is collected in each contact form to facilitate communication. From time to time, all this contact form data will be purged from the site.

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.
Who we share your data with
We do not share your data with any third party, with the exception of:

- If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise 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.
Where we send your data
Visitor website activity may be checked through the use of select user information (email or IP Address) via an automated firewall service. Google receives a select set of user session information. If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
Your contact information
Currently we do not have members registering on the website. However, from time to time, users may choose to use a form service which may contain your contact information. This information must be initially logged on the website so it can be emailed to the relevant parties. We will purge this information from the website at regular short intervals.
