What personal data we collect and why
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.
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.
Analytics
Who we share your data with
Custom Cranium doesn’t share any personal data. The only data that is collected off-site is via standard Google Analytics page tracking (with anonymization of your IP address so that the last part of your IP address is obscured).
This site does enable certain WordPress security features through Jetpack, which is fully aware of GDPR requirements. You can read more about Jetpack’s GDPR policies here (note: that is an older page, written when GDPR was very new, but Jetpack has continued to add GDPR compliance features since then).
While Custom Cranium may have affiliate programs, those are only in the form of cross-site referrals and do not include sharing any personal data about our Custom’ers.
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. This may include the information you gave regarding your name, email address, etc. This service (Jetpack) is used by many WordPress sites worldwide.

Additional information
How we protect your data
This site is hosted on a major hosting service and relies on the IT security policies in place by that host to protect all of their clients. Additionally we’ve enabled various WordPress security measures to provide a more secure site than a default installation.
What data breach procedures we have in place
In the event of any data breach we will post a notification on the web site as well as email any registered users.

What automated decision making and/or profiling we do with user data
None.
Industry regulatory disclosure requirements
