In the course of my business, I handle and store the personal data of my website users and clients respectively and to the applicable local and international laws.
We mostly collect data from comments, opt-in to an email newsletter, and contact forms on the site.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on this website, 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.
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. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Opt-in to Email Newsletter
I keep an email list of people that are interested in receiving updates when new articles or exciting digital products are released. The opt-in form collects your email address. This is used to send you occasional email updates as aforementioned.
Contact Form
The contact form will collect the data indicated on the form on the contact page (that is, your name, email address, and any message you send). This information is collected purposely to enable me to respond to your questions or messages.
I have an allowed legitimate interest in responding to your questions and messages and need to use your data to do so. I will not use your data for any other purposes.
3. How Long Do I Keep Your Personal 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.
