An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it.

Sign Up

When visitors signup on the site we will recieve an email containing the data shown in the signup form. People who sign up in this way will be added to an mailing/notification list which will be used to notify them when a new newsletter is produced. Subscribers can at any time ask to be removed from this list.

Media

Tracking Technologies

Installing Redit Pixel is a requirement for us to use Reddit advertising in our outreach campaign – i.e. seeking friends and collaborators to contribute to the project. Initially only one campaign is envisaged. Once the campaign is over – Reddit Pixel will be removed and no tracking technology will be active.

During a campaign, our website will use tracking technologies, including the Reddit pixel, to collect information about your interaction with our site. This information may include pages you visit, time spent on the site, and your interactions with our content.

The information collected by the Reddit pixel may be shared with Reddit. You can control or opt-out of this tracking through your browser settings or by using tools like AdChoices or Your Online Choices.

For more information on how Reddit collects and uses your data, please review Reddit’s Privacy Policy.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise 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 your data is sent

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