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 information on the browser used, and its agent string, to help spam detection.
An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service we use to manage comments. This is done to see if a person is using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
After approval of your comment, your profile picture will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
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 make a purchase on this site, your browser should allow you to quickly complete the standard parts of the payment form unless you have asked it not to. This is not done by cookies on our site.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.) from other sites. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you had accessed it through their own website and is therefore subject to “third party” Privacy Policies.
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
We do collect anonymised analytical (technical) data through some of our Cookies. These track information such as how you landed on our website and how long and what pages you browsed. We use this data to find they types of content our readers find most helpful in order to improve the quality of our work.
Who we share your data with
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.
If you sign up for our newsletter, your data will be shared and stored in MailChimp and will be subject to their own Privacy Policies.
We will also share your name, any pertinent information you share with us (such as reason for attending or dietary requirements), with the speakers (to help them plan their sessions) and the venue the conference will be held at.
How long we retain your data
We retain all data no longer in legitimate use, for 3 years. Data provided to third party organisations (such as MailChimp or Stripe) will be subject to their privacy policies.
What rights you have over your data
If you have left comments or completed a contact form on this site, 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. You can do this by contacting us as set out above. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, compliance, or security purposes.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Please also read the “Who we share your data with” section above.
How we protect your data
We use some platforms whose servers are not always located in the EEA (European Economic Area). If the companies we use are not European (and therefore not required to abide by GDPR regulations), we ensure that they comply with high levels of information security (mostly ISO 27001) and comply with US Privacy Shield requirements.
What data breach procedures we have in place
As data is held on third party servers, in the event that there is any breach of such servers, we will inform you as soon as reasonably possible after we have been made aware of any such breach. We will also provide details of what further action may be required to protect yourself
