MichaelWallisTherapy and mwallistherapy are websites owned by myself, Michael Wallis. By using these websites you agree to the terms and conditions detailed below.
Who are ‘we’.
This privacy policy says ‘we’ because I use websites that use all sorts of computer programs I do not understand, and those computer programs collect information from you (and me) most of which is technical in nature. The use of ‘we’ means some program collects the information for purposes of keeping the site running. The program may provide information to me as part of the ‘keep the site running’ process. I do not use any information for any other purpose than running the site. If the collected information is used for any other purposes I am completely unaware of that collection and it is done without my consent. Welcome to the World Wide Web…
Most of the following has been generated by an AI program to build privacy policies and I just accepted it as accurate…
Comments
When you 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. I retain the information collected by the form in a mailing list.
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.
Media
If you upload images or other media 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. I will assume you are the owner of the copyright and you indemnify me from any legal action in relation to those images (or media).
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 visit our login page, 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.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
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. It is reasonable to assume that I may use the comment for further exploration of the subject.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or 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.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. This site is stored on servers that can be located anywhere in the world; you need to be aware of that possibility.
Links to other websites:
My website may contain links to other websites that are not owned or controlled by me. Please be aware that I am not responsible for such other websites or third parties’ privacy practices. I encourage you to be aware when you leave my website you should read the privacy statements of each website that may collect personal information.
Information security:
I secure the information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorised access, use, or disclosure (or at least this is reasonable assumption based on the information I have). I, personally, keep reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect against unauthorised access, use, modification, and personal data disclosure in its control and custody. However, no data transmission over the Internet or wireless network can be guaranteed to be secure.
Legal disclosure:
I will disclose any information I collect, use or receive if required or permitted by law, such as to comply with a subpoena or similar legal process, and when I believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect my rights, protect your safety or the safety of others.
Contact information:
If you would like to contact me to understand more about this Policy or wish to contact me concerning any matter relating to individual rights and your Information, please contact me via email at admin@mwallistherapy.com.
