Privacy Policy

Information this site may collect

When a reader visits a page, the site’s hosting and WordPress software may record general, technical information in the usual way for a website, such as the page visited, the time of the visit, and general information about the browser and device. That information, if recorded, is used in general terms to keep the site working, to check for errors, and to understand which pages are visited. This policy does not claim that a particular analytics or advertising service is used, because none is stated here.

If a reader leaves a comment, the comment form may ask for a name and an email address, and the comment, together with that information, may be stored with the comment. If a reader contacts the site owner through the Contact page, the information in that message, including any name and email address supplied, may be used to read and reply to the message. A reader should not send sensitive, account or payment information through a comment or a contact message, and this site does not ask for such information.

Cookies

Cookies are small files that a website may store in a browser. This site, and the WordPress software it runs on, may use cookies in the usual way, for example to keep a signed-in user signed in, to remember display choices, or to keep the site working. A reader can control cookies through their browser settings, including deleting cookies and blocking cookies from a site. Blocking cookies may affect how a site works, and this policy does not claim that a particular cookie, advertising cookie or tracking cookie is used, because none is stated here.

How information may be used

Information collected through this site may be used to operate and improve the site, to check for errors and misuse, to read and reply to comments and contact messages, and to meet legal duties that apply to the site. Information is not sold, and it is not used to build a profile of a reader for advertising, because no such use is stated here. If the site owner changes how information is used, this policy should be updated first, and the change should be described in plain terms.

Sharing information with others

Information may be shared with the hosting provider and with service providers who help to run the site, in general terms, and only to the extent needed to run the site. Information may also be shared if the law requires it, or to protect the site, its owner or its readers from misuse. This policy does not name a particular provider, because none is stated here, and it does not claim that information is shared with advertisers, data brokers or other third parties for their own purposes.

How long information is kept

Comments, if left, are kept with the page they were left on, until they are removed. Contact messages are kept for as long as needed to read and reply to them, and then removed in the usual way for the site’s email or contact system. Technical records, if kept, are kept only for as long as needed to keep the site working and to check for errors. A reader who wants a comment or a message removed can use the contact details below, with the placeholder noted.

Reader rights and choices

A reader may ask what personal information, if any, this site holds about them, ask for it to be corrected, or ask for it to be removed, subject to any legal duties that require it to be kept. A reader may also ask the site not to use their information in a particular way, and may control cookies through their browser. Requests should be made through the contact details below, and should include enough detail to identify the comment, message or information concerned, without sending sensitive information. The law that applies to a reader’s rights depends on where the reader lives, and this policy does not claim to describe every right in every country.

Links to other websites

This site may link to other websites, including the device, legal and contact pages on this site, and, in general terms, to services a reader may use. Other websites have their own privacy practices, and this policy does not cover them. A reader should read the privacy policy of another website before supplying information to it, and should not assume that this site endorses or controls another website because it is linked to.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be changed when the site, its setup or the law changes. Changes will be shown on this page, and the page should be read again after a change. A change does not apply to information collected before the change in a way that contradicts the policy that was in place at that time, unless the law requires it. No change date is stated here, because none is stated on this site, and a date should not be invented for this page.
