Who We Are

Our website address is: https://lottiedoherty.com.



What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It
Comments
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 anonymized 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.


Contact Forms
When you submit information through our contact forms, we collect the data you provide to respond to your inquiries and requests. This information is only used for the purpose of addressing your specific request or inquiry.


Email Opt-ins and Subscriptions
If you sign up for our newsletter, resources, or waitlists, we collect your email address and any other information you provide to deliver the content you've requested. You may unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link in our emails.


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.


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.


Analytics
We use analytics tools to help us understand how visitors engage with our website. These tools collect information sent by your browser, including your IP address and the pages you visit. This helps us improve our website and your experience.


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
We use email marketing platforms (such as Mailerlite) to manage our email communications. When you sign up for our emails, your information is stored in these platforms according to their privacy policies.

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to third parties unless we provide you with advance notice.


How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

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.
When you sign up for our email list, we retain your information until you unsubscribe or request deletion.

You have the right to:
Request access to your personal data
Request correction of your personal data
Request erasure of your personal data
Object to processing of your personal data
Request restriction of processing your personal data
Request transfer of your personal 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.
If you sign up for our mailing list, your information will be stored on our email service provider's servers.
