What personal data do 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. 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
Date from contact form submissions is deleted after 90 days.
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 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.
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
Analytical data is collected via WordPress (Jetpack)
How long do 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 profiles. 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 do 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.

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Additional information
This section includes some further information on more advanced areas of personal data management.
How we protect your data
The primary means of protecting your data include two-factor authentication and regular training in data protection law and practice. We have also carried out a Privacy Impact Assessment which is helped by a comprehensive security audit. The website security is further enhanced by a specific plugin that monitors each and every change to the website itself, who made it, when and to what effect. This is particularly useful for monitoring for any unauthorized activity such as malicious attacks, in real-time, to better ensure a timely response to any potential risk of a data breach. Additional security is provided by way of a paid-for security plugin with a range of features and hands-on technical support.
What data breach procedures do we have in place
We have an internal reporting system that is designed to comply with the legal requirements in the event of an actual or suspected data breach.
What third parties do we receive data from
Currently, we do not receive data from third parties.
What automated decision making and/or profiling do we do with user data
This does not take place on the personal data held on this website, either on an individual or an aggregated level. This privacy policy must be read in conjunction with this website’s disclaimer, which makes clear that this website is for information purposes only and nothing on this website should be taken as creating a barrister-client or barrister-solicitor relationship.
