What personal data we collect and why we collect it

We will only collect standard information for permitting blog comments. We will collect only basic information to allow a personalised newsletter to be issued to you – first name, surname and email address.

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 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.

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 are provided by either our Theme provider (Themeisle) or mailchimp. Both are protected by industry standards. We will never pass your contact details to anyone else without your express permission.

Analytics

We will be running analytics on the site. We cannot see, from your data, WHO you are.

Who we share your data with

Nobody. We guard your data like our own. We don’t share it, we don’t sell it. We don’t print it out. Your data is safe with The Greenwood Tarot.

How long we retain your data

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.

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.
