Who we are
Our website address is: https://asatangent.org. We believe that this WordPress site, hosted by Bluehost, is GDPR compliant, but since that is always a work in progress, we can never really be sure.
What personal data we collect and why we collect it
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 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.
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.
Contact forms
If you write to the author using the contact form, your message will be preserved in this author’s comments subdirectory, with associate metadata such as IP address and your e-mail address. We will not make any comment, e-mail address, IP address, or any other information available to any commercial vendor, ever. This site is hosted by Bluehost.com, and you can see the Bluehost privacy policy page here.
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.
Analytics
Who we share your data with
Web analytics data is provided to the author by GoogleAnalytics. The author will not share any analytic or usage data with anyone else, ever. Google has access to this data, of course, and there is no telling what Google might do with 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 recognize 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.
Your contact information
Your contact information will be held in confidence and not made available to anyone else.
Additional information
How we protect your data
This site is protected by Akismet anti-spam. We do not consider any data breach likely, insofar as this site is strictly non-commercial. In the event of a data breach, we will report such a breachto relevant authorities within 72 hours, unless the breach is considered harmless and poses no risk to individual data. However if a breach is high-risk, then we MUST also inform any and all individuals who’re impacted right away.
What data breach procedures we have in place
This site depends upon Bluehost, the owner of which is Endurance International Group.
- Endurance has a documented Cybersecurity Incident Response Plan, a 24×7 Command Monitoring Center, a Cybersecurity Incident Commander and an industry leading incident response third party on retainer.
- The Plan undergoes annual table top testing and is updated as necessary.
The Chief Privacy Officer/Data Protection Officer will be informed of any reasonably suspected Customer Data breach and will act as required by the GDPR and other laws as necessary.
What third parties we receive data from
We receive data from Google Analytics that helps us to understand how our site could be helpful, or more helpful. We do not reveal any analytic data to anyone. Obviously Google will know this analytic data, however.
What automated decision making and/or profiling we do with user data
We perform no automated decision making and/or profiling.
Industry regulatory disclosure requirements
We are unaware of any relevant industry regulatory disclosure requirements.
