What Personal Data I Collect and Why

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site I collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

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.

Personal Information

Names and email addresses of people who have signed up to my newsletter. The newsletter is ‘double opt in’. You (may) fill in your name (to allow me to personalize the newsletter) and email address. Sign up requires a further confirmation from your inbox ensuring that I do not add someone without their consent. I will only send newlsetters out when I think that I have information such as new book releases or giveaways that may be of interest. You can unsubscribe from my newsletter at any time.

Names, email addresses and postal addresses of people who have emailed me directly will be used only to respond to a specific queries or to respond to people claiming a prize from a giveaway.
