The information below is just a bunch of Hooey. It’s only here to appease the powers-that-be who think they own every thing and everyone on this Earth, our Terra Firma home. I personally do not collect any information from your visit to my website. I don’t keep any data or details of your visit at all. If you comment on a post or page and I think it is appropriate to the content of the article then I will add a reply and hope you will reciprocate. If not, oh well, I will delete your comments at will. Who we are Suggested text: Our website address is: https://stanleydavenport.com. Comments Suggested text: 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, but probably not, 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 Suggested text: Forget this because I will be the one and only author on this website. If you upload images to the website, which will never happen if you are not me, 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. Cookies Suggested text: 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. Not happening, ever! 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, which you cannot do, 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, which will never happen, 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 Suggested text: 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. However, I will do my very best to wash all content used on my site from any external metadata or external tracking information by using only originally created by me or so completely modified the original author would know it if it stopped hem on the street and asked for a dollar. 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. Who we share your data with Suggested text: If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. Just don’t do this and we will get along fine. How long we retain your data Suggested text: 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 (not going to happen), 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 Suggested text: 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. Don’t try to create an account because it will not happen. So this section is BS. Where your data is sent Suggested text: Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. I don’t even know how to do this if it ain’t free.
