Who we are
Our website address(URL) is: http://www.tnelsontaylor.com and you should already know this if you are in fact on this page. WordPress suggested it, so blame them.
“We” are actually CineCapture LLC, but the website contains elements provided from and linked to third-parties who change from time-to-time (i.e. WordPress and it’s theme developers) and CineCapture LLC cannot be expected, nor liable, for listing them all here. Isn’t embedded code fun? We kid …
Comments
More suggested from WordPress …
“When visitors leave comments on the site “we” collect the data shown (the site does … CineCapture didn’t lift a finger, otherwise) in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.”
Relax, almost every website does this nowadays. It’s the price of interaction.
“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.”
See? There’s a company “we” never heard of until reviewing this policy. We hope it doesn’t deter you from commenting or interacting with our site. Chances are, you didn’t read this anyway.
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.”
Sage advice. Although we’re not sure why you’d be uploading pictures. This is an author’s site with a blog, not a dating service. … and we don’t particularly want photos of your grandkids either — cute as they may be.
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.” (unless you manually flush them from your browser)
Convenience? Okay …
“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.”
A friend once told me nobody ever sounded tough saying the word “cookie”. Try it. Say it like Batman or Thor.
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.”
So says WordPress …
“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.”
“We” prefer it didn’t, but frankly, coding websites these days has become an incredibly sordid gyre of info-grabbing. Honestly, “we” just want to sell T. Nelson’s books and toss a bit of friendly yack your way.
Who we share your data with
“If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.”
Huh, WordPress? “We” don’t share your info. If the site’s 3rd-party functions do it, “we” have no control over that without pulling the plug entirely.
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.”
See comment just below.
What rights you have over your data
You know the Vegas-style maxim: What goes on the internet stays on the internet …
“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.”
Requests are NOT promises. “We” shall attempt to honor your request, however we cannot be held responsible or liable for the actions of 3rd-party providers (many of whom we are not aware) embedded and/or linked within the code of this site. We also cannot police or be held liable for content taken by historical web snapshot providers, ex. Wayback.
What goes in the internet …
Where your data is sent
“Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.”
Again, WordPress’ suggestions omitted a key disclaimer. “We” have no idea where 3rd parties send your info. We’d like to believe it’s lovingly ushered by the finest angels to Data Heaven and used for noble purposes. Uh… maybe not.
Just assume anything you provide might go ANYWHERE, including combative foreign entities, scam artists, hacks and pretty much any salivating miscreant with a keyboard.
Wow, you read this? All the way to here? Kudos!
