What personal data we collect and why we collect it

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.

Contact forms

If you enter your personal data in one of my contact forms, you do so at your peril.

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 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

No one.

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.

Additional information

How we protect your data

My fellow NH wizards have cast a protective spell on your data. That’s all you need to know.

What data breach procedures we have in place

Should a data breach occur, we proceed to the Gates of Hell in search of the perp. Once captured, we skin them alive.

What third parties we receive data from

At certain times, we’ve identified aliens from other galaxies sending us data. It comes in the form of wireless electromagnetic waves. That same data is crashing into your body wherever you are on planet Earth – the issue is you probably are so weak you can’t decipher what they’re saying.

What automated decision making and/or profiling we do with user data

We make automatic decisions about the sanity of the people who provide us with user data. If you lead a pure and simple life, then you have nothing to worry about. Be sure your window shades are drawn tight because we don’t want to put any photos of you online that you may be shocked to see.

Industry regulatory disclosure requirements

The industry, especially the European Union, can SUCK IT! Screw your damn GDPR regulations.

GDPR CRAP –

The damn European elite ruling class – not the hard-working respectable European citizens – passed a law that affects you even if you don’t live in Europe. The law goes into effect on May 25, 2018. They made me create this section. Can you believe that? You live and work in the USA and wretched invisible European governments decide they’re going to control how YOU interact with this USA website. It’s beyond obnoxious. It’s my hope that bad jujumagumbo rain down upon these mongrels trying to lord over us.

Your personal data can be collected here at W3ATB.com via forms, surveys, games, and just about anything else where you enter your name and address. Invisible tasteless cookies may be set by this website and any ads that you click.

If you don’t want me to see who you are and don’t want me to help you, then get the hell off my site and don’t fill out one of my forms.

If you feel the invisible cookies are harmful, then grab a juice box, a fruit roll-up and I’ll be back to check on you in about six hours. You can also delete the cookies from your computer while you suck on your juice box.

Can you tell how PISSED I am about this GDPR bullshit based on my dripping sarcasm?
