Privacy

The website address is https://michaelbedfordpoetry.com.

There are no transactions that can be made on this website. Nothing can be purchased and there are no visitor login facilities, etc. Hence, people do not supply any personal details.

There are embedded videos on the website. People should be aware that embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. They 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.

I have not added any analytics programmes to the website (for example, Google Analytics) which may trace people’s behaviour on the site. I currently use the summary level statistics provided by the host server. There is no paid advertising on this site so there are no associated advertising programmes (for example, Google AdSense). In fact, I do not benefit financially (either in sales or through advertising) from the website or from my associated YouTube channel.

Information may be collected. Firstly, when people give it directly through the contact form. Secondly, when people visit the website though the collection of technical details such as IP address, browser type, time zones, etc. I am aware the security programme logs security related traffic on login and firewall activity such as IP address, location, and hostname, etc, and keeps these data for a maximum of 30 days.

The contact form requires little in the way of personal details. At the minimum, just the comment. The comment and an email address if a reply is required. The form is checked by an automated spam detection service.
