Who we are
Our website address is: https://jphogan.net. This website is run by an individual on a server hooked up to his home network. It is routinely upgraded, blown out and reloaded and has constant expermentation on it. He uses primarily vetted open source software to manage it, but cannot warrant that this will always be the case. The policy that follows is a boiler plate policy slapped on the site as an example. I have neither the time nor the inclination to use your data or even retain it for any reason. I do not have the ability or time to look up your data and remove or anonymize it.
If you are finding data on the web about your perusal of this site, it is coming from either one of my software providers somehow mining what little data my site collects without my knowledge OR cookies and/or software installed on YOUR device(s) is giving them this information. Most likely the latter.
At any rate it will do you no good to bring legal action against me. I have no money and will simply let you waste your resources and then show the court my financials. I can only assure you I take pains to make sure that no information is collected that would identify individuals. And that this is certainly not sold or shared by me. The only way I will share your personal information is if you send me an email at my initials followed by my domain name. Then, yes I will store your information in my email. The tenor and content of your communication will determine what I do with it. IE, if you send me harrassing emails, ya, I will put you on blast. If you send me spam, same. If you write me respectfully, I will generally return the respect.
So, without futher ado, here is the policy template that came with my wordpress software with only a few alterations here and there by me.
Comments
Comments are disabled.
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.
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. you have successfully hacked the site. May the fleas of 10,000 camels infest your genitals.
Cookies
I ate the cookies. I was hungry. Seriously though, commenting and logging in have been disabled so the only one getting cookies from the site should be me. Leave my cookies alone. Unless you have Girl Scout Cookies for sale, in which case please contact me immediately in real life to take what little cash I have left.
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.
In short, I ain’t responsible for content of other sites just because you can view them here.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. Currently registering, commenting and email are ALL disabled for this site. This is intentional as to not collect data.
How long we retain your data
As long as we want, or until we screw up and wipe the site again. Whichever comes first… or last.. or whatever.
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.
What rights you have over your data
None. This is my site, don’t like it? You know where the door is. Or click here. Bye. Have a nice life.
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. Once and If I allow comments that is.
Enjoy. Poke around. But don’t touch anything.
Sincerely,
JPH
