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.
PLEASE NOTE: Blog Post comments are currently turned off due to the high levels of spam and attempted hacks. However, again, note that should the comments section be reinstated at any time the above shall apply.

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 a 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.

Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, infographics 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. Please note we seldom use third party content, images, articles or videos though you may find external links to only carefully selected credible sites relevant to that content.
Who we share your data with
We do not currently share any personal data or information (name/email/mobile number/address) with any third party (Advertisers or otherwise).
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.
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 we send your data – Analytics
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. We also use a third party plugin ‘Wordfence’. This is first and foremost used to block spam and hackers. However the plugin will record your ISP, IP address, location and time of visit. It is not possible to profile this software as we have no way of knowing who will visit the site, from what location and at what time. This data is not used for marketing or contact information as no name and/or email address can be collected and/or associated with the ISP/IP address. This data is stored in an SQL database and should you wish to have your ISP/IP details removed in practical terms, due to the volume of traffic, this can only be done within 24 hours of your visit.
Contact information
Should you wish to contact us with any queries or concerns over your personal data please email privacy-policy@remote-beer-cooler.co.uk
Additional information
How we protect your data
We will not sell, distribute or lease your personal information to third parties unless we have your permission or are required by law to do so. We may use your personal information from time to time to keep you updated about our business model and new trends and insights we may feel will be beneficial to you. We currently do not engage with third party advertisers, therefore ‘promotional information about third parties’ does not apply. As per ‘Contact Forms’ above you will be provided with clear instructions as to how you can unsubscribe from any or all mailing lists.
What data breach procedures we have in place
Our security software requires 2FA to access this site along with this site being https encrypted.
