Who We Are and Our Concerns
Here at After the… Savoy Truffle [https://afterthesavoytruffle.space/], privacy is important. Unfortunately, with how much of the Internet functions, complete privacy is difficult to accomplish. To be forthright, certain information is collected by default.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, data shown in the comments form is collected. Also, visitors’ IP addresses are collected, as well browser user agent strings to help detect and control spam.
Anonymized strings are created from e-mail addresses (also known as “hashes”). Those may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if readers are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of any comments, profile pictures are visible to the public in the context of said comments.
Contact Form and Mailing List
The collection of personal information is involved when the form on the Contact page [https://afterthesavoytruffle.space/contact-the-author/] is utilized. Names and e-mail addresses are collected when visitors opt-in to the mailing list for After the… Savoy Truffle. Use of such information is for communications between the webmaster and the site’s visitors. Use of both the contact form and mailing list are optional. Visitors who have previously signed up for the mailing list, but no longer want to receive mailings can elect to opt out of future e-mails.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Posts and pages 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.
