Privacy Policy

Who I am.

I’m Adrian Frost, and my website address is: https://authorfrost.com.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on this site I 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 provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. (Gravatar is the web service that lets users upload an online avatar and will associate the avatar with their email address. That way, when visitors log in to WordPress using their email and leave a comment on a WordPress website, Gravatar automatically uploads the avatar on the user’s profile.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.)

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.

Email Subscription

If you subscribe to emails (and I hope you do), your email address will be collected on my server and I will keep a list of email addresses to send out mails when I have news.  I won’t pass those email addresses on to anyone else. If you unsubscribe (there’ll be a link in the email to let you do this) I’ll delete you from my list and I won’t send you any more emails. (Unless you subscribe again).  

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 tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who I share your data with

No-one except Gravatar who run the comments service.

How long I retain your data

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.

If you subscribe to emails I’ll keep you on my list until you unsubscribe, or I’m a millionaire and I don’t have to sell any more books. 

What rights you have over your data

If you 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.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
