Privacy Policy

This website, https://andreapeacock.com, is a personal blog written and edited by Andrea Peacock. For any questions or concerns, please contact me via my contact page.

I respect your privacy and am committed to protecting personally identifiable information you may provide through this website.

This Privacy Policy, together with the Terms and Conditions posted on this website, set forth the general rules and policies governing your use of andreapeacock.com. Depending on your activities when visiting this website, you may be required to agree to additional terms and conditions.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Andrea Peacock 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. The purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how visitors use this website. From time to time, Andrea Peacock may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of this website.

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.

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

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.

Children

We do not intend to collect or knowingly collect information from children. We do not target children with our services.

Security

The security of your personal information is important to us. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
