Privacy Policy Comments

When 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.

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

If you leave a comment on our 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 our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies 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.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

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

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.

WordUp Morning (our email newsletter)

Who is responsible for your data: Dave Brennan, trading as BrennanAI, 275 New North Road, Islington, London N1 7AA, United Kingdom. Contact: support@wordupnews.com.

What we collect: when you sign up for WordUp Morning we store your email address, the date and time you signed up and confirmed, the internet (IP) address you signed up from, and which page you signed up on.

Why, and our legal basis: we use your email address only to send you WordUp Morning, and the sign-up details as a record that you asked for it. Our legal basis is your consent, which you give by signing up and clicking the link in our confirmation email. You can withdraw it at any time.

Who else handles it: your details are stored on our own server. Emails are delivered for us by Resend, an email delivery service, which processes your email address only to deliver our emails and may do so outside the UK under the safeguards UK data protection law requires. We never sell, rent or share your details with advertisers or anyone else.

How long we keep it: while you are subscribed. If you sign up but never confirm, we delete your sign-up after 30 days. If you unsubscribe, we keep only your email address and the date you left, so that we never email you again by mistake. Ask us and we will delete that too.

Your rights: you can unsubscribe at any time with the link at the bottom of every email. You can also ask us for a copy of the data we hold about you, or ask us to correct or delete it, by emailing support@wordupnews.com. If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
