Comments – When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data provided in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.
An anonymized string, created from your email address (also known as a hash), may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Cookies – If you leave a comment on the site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience, so you don’t have to fill in your details again when leaving another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you have an account and log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain any 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 screen display preferences. 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.
In most internet browsers, you can change your settings to receive warnings each time a cookie is sent or to disable cookies. However, blocking cookies may affect the functioning of certain features on the site. To learn more, visit All About Cookies.
Email Alerts – If you sign up to receive automatic email alerts for new blog posts, your email address will be retained solely for this purpose. You can unsubscribe at any time by following the links at the bottom of any email alert you receive.
Newsletter – If you sign up for my email newsletter, your email address and name will be retained solely for the purpose of sending you the newsletter. You can unsubscribe or update your preferences at any time by following the links at the bottom of any newsletter you receive from me.
I use MailChimp as my newsletter automation platform, and by confirming your subscription, you acknowledge that the information you provide will be transferred to MailChimp for processing in accordance with their privacy policy and terms.
Google Analytics – I use Google Analytics to analyze the use of this website. Google Analytics generates statistical and other information about website usage through cookies, which are stored on users’ computers. The information generated about my website is anonymized before being shared with Google. Google’s privacy policy is available at: http://www.google.com/privacypolicy.html.
– Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles) from other websites. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the 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 the embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
I store your data securely and do not share it with any third parties, except in the following cases:
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on this website (if any), I 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.
If you subscribe to my newsletter or automatic email alerts, your data will be held indefinitely unless you choose to unsubscribe or request the removal of your data.
Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws regarding your personal data. These rights include the right to:
You can learn more about these rights at: https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-the-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr/individual-rights/.
If you wish to exercise any of the rights mentioned above, please email me at hello@hana-hodge-art.eu.
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data or to exercise any other rights. However, I may refuse to comply with requests that are unfounded or excessive.
I strive to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. If your request is particularly complex or if you have made several requests, it may take longer. In such cases, I will notify you and keep you updated.
If you are unhappy with any aspect of how I collect and use your data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the supervisory authority for data protection issues in the UK. I would appreciate it if you would contact me first so that I can try to resolve the issue for you.
I may update this privacy policy from time to time. Please check this page occasionally to ensure you are aware of any changes. If you have opted to receive email notifications, I may also notify you of changes via email.
