Privacy Policy

Who I am

My website address is: https://unrecognisedgenius.com.

Comments

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

An anonymised 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.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

I use no cookies for any sort of marketing purposes and have kept cookie use on my website to a minimum.

If you leave a comment on my site you may opt in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit the login page, a temporary cookie is set to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, several cookies are set up to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

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 had 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 into that website.

Who I share your data with

Nobody.

This includes people, organisations, companies, etc.

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How long I retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so any follow-up comments can be recognised and approved automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on the website (if any), the personal information they provide in their user profile is stored. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). The website administrator (which is me) 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 that is held about you, including any data you have provided. You can also request that I erase any personal data that is held about you. This does not include any data I am by law obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where I send your data

No data is transferred outside the European Union.

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

MailPoet newsletter & emails

If you have subscribed to my blog or if you are a member of the website, there is a good chance you will receive emails from me.

I only send you emails which you have signed up to receive.

To send you emails, I use the email address you provide. My site logs the IP address you used when you signed up for the service to prevent abuse of the system.

This website can send emails through the MailPoet sending service. I do not use the analytics to track opens and clicks on sent emails.

No identifiable information is otherwise tracked outside this website except for the email address.
