This page details how your personal data is collected, used and stored with Mon Stylo Saignant (https://monstylosaignant.com). By using this website, you hereby consent to this privacy policy and agree to its terms.

Comments

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. When visitors leave comments on the site, the data shown in the comments form is collected, as well as 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.

I use Akismet to reduce spam in the comments sections. Their privacy policy can be found here: https://akismet.com/privacy/.

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so I can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

In concordance with COPPA, I do not knowingly collect information from visitors under the age of 13, and this site isn’t intended for children under the age of 13.

Newsletter and emails

I collect your name and email address when you subscribe or use the contact form on this website. My site also logs the IP address you used when you signed up for the service to prevent abuse of the system. These details are not shared with anyone and are only used by me. I do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties any of your Personally Identifiable Information.

If you have subscribed to my newsletter, you will receive emails from me. I will only send you emails which you have signed up to receive, or which pertain to the services I provide to you. This website sends emails through the MailPoet Sending Service. This service allows me to track opens and clicks on my emails. I use this information to improve the content of my newsletters.

I use Google reCAPTCHA for spam protection on my contact form. Their privacy policy can be found here:  https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

Cookies

By using this site, you consent to cookies being used to enhance user experience. This site’s cookies store information like the number of visitors to the website, the number of unique visitors, which pages of the website have been visited, the source of the visit, etc. These data help me understand and analyze how well the website performs and where it needs improvement.

If you leave a comment on the 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. Cookies can be disabled by you at any point via your browser. 

Analytics

This site uses Google Analytics which collects some generic data. To view their Privacy Policy, please click here.

I use Google analytics to record information about the pages a user has seen, for example the URL of the page, time of day, device used, etc. The information that I collect is anonymized and sent to Google Analytics. Google Analytics mainly uses first-party cookies to report on visitor interactions on this website.

Google Analytics also collects IP addresses to provide and protect the security of the service, and to give me a sense of which country, state, or city in the world my site visitors come from (also known as “IP geolocation”). See this page for Google Analytics security and usage of data: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. YouTube 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.

Extra security information

This website is secured by SSL. This website is protected by an online firewall which blocks hacking attempts and security breaches. If there is a breach or security issue I’m emailed immediately by my security provider. I will assess the risk to your personal data and report any significant risks to the correct authorities if necessary.

What rights you have over your data

If desired, 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.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
