Who I am
I’m Marian Crane. My website address is: http://www.cranehanabooks.com.
What personal data I collect and why I collect it
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we (me and WordPress) 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.
Wordfence collects realtime information from visitors to this blog, to help differentiate between human visitors, bots, and malicious actors. Some activities can result in specific ISPs being blocked from this site.
Media
Not applicable, since I’m the only one uploading media content on this blog.
Contact forms
I only include contact forms on certain pages, and primarily for collecting the names and email addresses of people interested in receiving updates about my new blog posts. I do not sell that information to third parties, or use it in any other way.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on this 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.
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 tracing 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 and how long we retain your data
This data gets stored only through WordPress and Wordfence. I do not share it with any other service.
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.
At the moment, I have an email-only alert notification for my readers. If they wish to be alerted about new blog posts to this blog, they can sign up for email alerts. I do not access that information for targeted marketing posts, newsletters, or sale to other vendors. Anyone can remove themselves from this list at any time.
What rights you have over your data
If you 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 can contact me at cranedesigns@gmail.com.
How we protect your data
What data breach procedures we have in place
If I have notification from WordPress or my independent security services that this site has been compromised, I will post that ASAP on the blog, so that readers can learn about it.
What third parties we receive data from
I can receive data about human and bot visitors to this website, including country of origin, ISP, approximate location, number of times they’ve visited this site, and actions they may have attempted while visiting my blog.
When visitors leave comments, I have access to their usernames, general location, and the comments themselves. In most cases I will let those comments stand; I reserve the option of deleting obvious spam or useless inflammatory comments.
What automated decision making and/or profiling we do with user data
Through automated security plugins, I can profile and if necessary block visitors who appear to be hacking or otherwise acting maliciously toward this blog.
