Privacy Policy

General

From The Pavilion End is Bill Ricquier’s cricket blog. The website address is: https://billpavilionend.com. We collect limited personal data to provide the services that you request by browsing the site, by subscribing to our mailing lists, or by contacting us. We also use basic functionality from Google Analytics to understand how our website is used in order to improve it for our users.

What data we collect and why

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

When you contact us by email or using the contact form your data is sent from the website (Contact Form 7) or your own email server to email accounts owned by Bill Ricquier and the website admin. Your data will be retained only for as long as required to answer the query you have raised or to provide the services you have requested.

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 tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how our website is used so we can improve the service we provide to our readers.

Data collected, processed and stored using Google Analytics (“Google Analytics data”) is secure and kept confidential. This data is used to maintain and protect the Google Analytics service, to perform system critical operations and in rare exceptions for legal reasons as described in Google’s privacy policy. You can read more about how Google protects your data here.

Who we share your data with

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time. Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

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 subscribe to our website, we store the personal information they provide in their user profile indefinitely, to provide the service they have requested.

What rights you have over your data

We do not create (WordPress) user accounts.

If you have subscribed to one or more of our mailing lists you can check the data we hold, manage and cancel your subscription here.

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.
