What personal data we collect and why we collect it

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 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. 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

Our Digital Properties may include contact forms, blogs, and other interactive technologies that may allow comments, messages, emails, and postings to be associated with a user’s name or email address. Any information you post is public information, and JTM cannot control what use third parties may make of this personal information. All of these forums are public. Please consider this before you post.

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 have an account and you log in to this site, 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, 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, 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

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.

How long we 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.

For users that register on our website (if any), 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

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.

Where we send your data

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

Your contact information

You may opt-out of receiving promotional communications from us (e.g., notices about new products or services or marketing research) or third parties (e.g., co-branded offers), by emailing us at: justin@justinthomasmiller.com or writing to us at:

Additional information

How we protect your data

We implement technical and organizational safeguards to ensure an appropriate level of security and confidentiality for your personal data, in accordance with our policies and any applicable laws. We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as necessary to provide the relevant services to you or for so as long as reasonably required to satisfy the purpose for which you submitted the information, and taking into account any record retention requirements under any applicable laws.

Please be aware, though, that no data security measures can absolutely guarantee security. Because of this, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or via our online products or services, and you do so at your own risk. You should take steps to protect against unauthorized access to your password, phone, and computer by, among other things, signing off after using a shared computer, choosing a robust password that nobody else knows or can easily guess, and keeping your log-in and password private. We are not responsible for any lost, stolen, or compromised passwords or for any activity on your account via unauthorized password activity.

What third parties we receive data from

When you make a purchase, we may need to provide personal information, such as your shipping address, billing information, telephone number, and credit card information to third parties, including payment processing or shipping companies, as necessary solely to complete the transaction.
