What information we collect
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 with spam detection. An anonymised string created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. If you upload images, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data, as visitors can download and extract location data from images on the site.
If you contact us by email, we collect your name, email address and anything you choose to include in your message, so that we can reply. We use that information only to answer you, and we do not sell it or share it for marketing.
Cookies and analytics
We use cookies to keep the site working, to remember your preferences, and to understand which articles readers find useful. If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email address and website in cookies so you do not have to fill them in again. We may use privacy-friendly analytics that count visits without identifying individual readers. Embedded content from other websites, such as videos, may behave as if you had visited that other website, and it may collect data about you.
How long we keep your data and your rights
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely, so we can recognise and approve follow-up comments automatically. You can ask for a copy of the personal data we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it, except for data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal or security purposes. Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
If you have any questions about this privacy policy, please contact us at hello@oldhousenest.com. This policy may be updated from time to time, and the latest version will always be published on this page.
