Data collection and storage

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. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

We do not share your data with any other third parties.

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.

Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the lawful basis we rely on for processing this information is your consent. You can remove your consent at any time.

You have rights under data protection law including rights to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, to object to processing and to data portability. You are not required to pay any charge for exercising your rights. If you make a request, we will respond to you within one month.

If you would like to exercise any of these rights please contact us at hello@outsidecontext.co.uk.
