What personal data is collected and why
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site the data shown in the comments form is collected and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user 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 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
I will not collect any personally identifiable information about you (e.g. name, address, telephone number, e-mail address) unless you provide it to me voluntarily. If you do not want your personal information collected, please do not submit it. I do not share your personal information with third parties.

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 tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Analytics
When someone visits www.richard-case.com, this site uses third party services, Google Analytics and other measurement tools to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. This is done to find out things such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site. This information is only processed in a way which does not identify anyone. This site does not make, and does not allow Google to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting this website. If we do want to collect personally identifiable information through our website, we will be up front about this. We will make it clear when we collect personal information and will explain what we intend to do with it.
Social Media
I use Facebook and a few other platforms to interact with people. If you send me a private or direct message via social media the message will be stored by those sites. You should check the relevant third party website privacy policy pages for more information.
Who I share your data with
I do not sell or lease your information to any third party. I do not share your information with marketing companies. Occasionally your information may be passed to or accessed by a third party service provider or subcontractor for the purpose of completing tasks and providing services to you on my behalf (for example website management or technical maintenance). Please be assured that whenever I use a third party service provider, I disclose only the personal information that is necessary to deliver the service.
How long does this website retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so the site can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on this website (if any), the site also stores 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 this site holds about you, including any data you have provided to the site. You can also request that I erase any personal data this site holds about you. This does not include any data this site is 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.
