| Who we are I am Seán Byrne, who solely runs this forum and the Editor Seán blog as a personal hobby. This website runs on MyBB and is hosted on Blacknight in Ireland. This forum address is https://confusedbird.com and my main blog website address is: https://editorsean.com. What personal data we collect and why we collect itUser accountsWhen visitors register, log in and post on the site we collect the data entered, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. 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 Any data sent through this website’s contact form will be sent along with the visitor’s IP address to my e-mail account in much the same way as sending me an e-mail. Cookies If you browse, register or sign-in on our site, the site stores some information in cookies, listed here. These are for your convenience so that you can see which posts and threads you previously read and can remain signed in when you return. These cookies will last for one year. 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 tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website. How long we retain your data If you create an account and post, this account information, post content and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise returning users. What rights you have over your data If you have an account on this site, or have left posts, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us, in the user control panel. 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 we send your data User registration details may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Your contact information If you register or provide an e-mail address in the ‘Contact Us’ form, this website maintains your e-mail address in its database. If you subscribe to any forum or thread or receive a private message, this website will notify you of such updates by e-mail. Each e-mail provides an unsubscribe link. You can also unsubscribe from forums, threads and private message notifications in the user control panel. You can also contact me through this website’s contact form to remove all your contact information. If you have trouble with the captcha during registration (there to discourage spam), please use the Contact form (on my Editor Seán blog), mention a preferred username and I will create a user account for you. Additional informationHow we protect your dataIf a post left on the website contains any personal information other than a name or avatar, I will edit out that personal information. For example, I will edit out any personal address, Eircode, telephone number, etc. I may contact the user if I edit or remove the post. This website uses https (Let’s Encrypt cert), which encrypts any data submitted in a form. What data breach procedures we have in place I periodically make a complete backup of the forum and my main Editor Seán website including its databases. If for any reason there is a data breach, I will alert you of such a breach and take the forum and website offline until it is secured. This will include restoring a known good backup before the breach took place. What third parties we receive data from We do not receive personal data from third parties other than the users who register and particiapte on the forum. All data on this website has been voluntarily added such as through the contact and comment forms and users posting. |
