Personal data is also generated from technical processes such as contact forms, comments, cookies, analytics, and third party embeds (see Third party tracking)

4.1 Comments:

By default WordPress will collect data shown on the user profile screen from registered users when visitors leave a comment. 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 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.

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. For more information, see Our Use of Cookies.

4.2 Contact form

When a visitor uses the contact form, they will be required to provide their name and email details. Contact form submissions will be kept for as long as necessary for customer service purposes, however this information will not be used for marketing purposes.

4.3 Analytics:

We use the WordPress plugin MonsterInsights which provides analytics services. Like most website operators, MonsterInsights collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. MonsterInsights’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how MonsterInsights’s visitors use its website. From time to time, MonsterInsights may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

MonsterInsights also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on our blogs. MonsterInsights only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left. Read MonsterInsight’s full privacy policy for more information.

We use the Akismet anti-spam service. The information they typically collect includes the commenter’s IP address, user agent, referrer, and Site URL (along with other information directly provided by the commenter such as their name, username, email address, and the comment itself).
