Who we are

Our website address is: https://chrishallessex.co.uk/

This website is run by Rosemarie Gant on behalf of Chrishall Archive Group.

Collection of personal information

The only personal information we hold through this website is if you sign up for our newsletter and we ask for an email address. This is used purely to send you an occasional newsletter and for no other purpose. It is not passed on to anyone for any reason.

We use Mailchimp to send newsletters. You can see the Mailchimp privacy policy here.

We use iDrive to securely back up files. You can see the iDrive privacy policy here.

We use Gmail to access the email account for Chrishall Archive Group. See the Gmail privacy policy here.

Site statistics

This website is hosted on WordPress.com, which collects basic visitor statistics (such as page views, approximate location, and the website that referred you to us) using a built-in stats feature. This helps us understand which pages are popular and how people find the site. You can see the WordPress.com privacy policy here.

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 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. 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 if you use this service.

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 had 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.

What rights you have over your data

If you have left comments on this site, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. 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.

Akismet anti-spam plugin

We collect information about visitors who comment on our site using the Akismet anti-spam service. The information we collect typically includes the commenter’s IP address, user agent, referrer, and site URL, along with other information directly provided by the commenter such as their name, username, email address, and the comment itself.

Cookies

This site uses a small number of cookies needed for it to work properly, such as remembering your cookie consent choice, and for the site statistics described above. We do not use cookies for advertising. For general information about how cookies work, visit the All About Cookies website.

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.

If you choose to join our mailing list, your details will be held for as long as you are on the list. If you request to be removed from the list, your details will be deleted.
