Who we are
Our website address is https://Boldly.Blue.
This website is the official website for digital marketing project manager and author David M. Somerfleck.
Comments
When visitors may 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. For the time being comments are disabled to enhance site security.
If comments are submitted anonymized strings 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 are a user who is permitted to 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. Again, for the time being users outside of immediate administration are not permitted to upload images so this really isn’t an issue, anyway.
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. For now comments are disabled.
If you visit our login page, 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.
Only website owners and administrators are legally permitted to access or log in to the website. Any other access points or efforts are considered illegal.
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. For now, only the original website owner, administrator, and author, me, is submitting content to the site.
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 we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. Since only the website author and administrator currently has legal access to this website, this is not relevant to typical website readers or visitors.
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 now comments are disabled.
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. At present no person other than the website owner, administrator, and author have legal and complete access to this website so this is largely irrelevant to casual readers or browsers.
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. This is largely relevant only to blog subscribers, who can of course request to be unsubscribed any time by replying to a blog update or newsletter. That request will be acted upon typically within 24 to 48 hours.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service, but since comments are currently disabled, this is not relevant until such time that comments are actually permitted.
