Information I Collect
When you visit my website, make a purchase, or interact with my content, I may collect the following information:
-
Your name, email address, and any information you provide when contacting me or placing an order.
-
Your billing information when purchasing a digital product or physical item.

Technical data such as your IP address, browser type, and operating system, which helps improve site performance and security.

Information from cookies or similar technologies (explained below).
Comments
When visitors leave comments on my site, I collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect and prevent spam.
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 at https://automattic.com/privacy/.
After approval of your comment, your profile picture (if applicable) will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on my website, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience so that you do not need to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will remain active for one year.
My website may also use functional and analytical cookies to enhance user experience and measure website performance. You can adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being used.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles or pages on this website may include embedded content, such as videos, images, or articles from other websites. Embedded content behaves in the same way as if you visited the originating website directly.
These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including if you are logged into an account on that external website.
I am not responsible for the privacy practices or content of external websites and encourage you to review their privacy policies.
How Long I Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its associated metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows me to recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
Information collected for purchases or communications is retained only as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, comply with legal obligations, or resolve disputes.
Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have left comments or made a purchase on my site, you may request to receive a copy of the personal data I hold about you, including any data you have provided. You may also request that I delete any personal data I hold about you, except for data I am required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
To exercise these rights, please contact me at [email protected].
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Payment processing and digital product delivery are managed securely through third-party services that comply with data protection regulations. These providers only collect, use, and disclose your information as necessary to perform the services they provide.

If you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or the way your personal data is handled, please contact me at [email protected].
