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.

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.
Analytics
Google Analytics, or other similar services, may be used to provide data which improves the design and content of our web site.
When someone visits our website we may use a third-party service such as Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns.
We do this to find out things such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site. The information is ‘anonymised’, so that individuals cannot be identified.
Furthermore, we do not make, and do not allow Google and others to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website.
Who we share your data with
We do not share your data with third parties other than in limited and strictly controlled circumstances directly if essential for the operation of our website; or with your specific agreement; or if required by law to disclose it.
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.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
How we protect your data

Should we ask you to provide particular information by which you can be identified, then you can be assured that it will only be used in accordance with this privacy statement. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure all the information we collect.
What data breach procedures we have in place
In the event of a data breach we will ensure that the relevant statutory authorities are notified, if required, and follow the mitigation procedures set out in our data protection policy, a copy of which is available on request.
