Who We Are

Our website address is: https://jonwatkinsconsultant.com.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data provided in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to aid in spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, please refrain from including images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). 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 choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies offer convenience by preventing you from needing to fill in your details each time you leave a comment. These cookies will be stored for one year.

Upon visiting our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to ascertain whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will establish several cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies are valid for two days, while screen options cookies persist for a year. Selecting “Remember Me” will maintain your login for two weeks. Logging out of your account removes the login cookies.

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

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site might include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites functions the same way as if you visited the other website.

These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content. This includes 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 allows us to automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website (if any), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Website administrators also have access to view and edit this information.

Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request 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. However, this does not include data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be screened using an automated spam detection service.
