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 anonymised 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.

Membership & Volunteer Records

When you signup as a member or volunteer we ask that you consent to us storing the details that you provide to us, via the signup form and through subsequent updates to your record, in an online database. These details are only used by WildChiswick to manage our administration and are not shared with any third party outside of the WildChiswick organisation. If you decide at any time that you no longer wish us to hold this information please contact us by email or select the option to ‘Delete My Details’ option from the Communication Preferences on your record.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies and other related technologies (for convenience all technologies are referred to as “cookies”). Cookies are also placed by third parties that we use.

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.

On our website, we have included content and or functionality from the following sites and application programming interfaces.

  • Facebook
  • Twitter
  • Instagram
  • Mastodon
  • Google Fonts
  • Google reCAPTCHA
  • Vimeo
  • WordPress

This content is embedded with code derived from these sites and may place cookies. This content might store and process certain information for personalised advertising.

Please read the privacy statement of these social networks and service providers (which can change regularly) to read what they do with your (personal) data which they process using these cookies. The data that is retrieved is anonymised as much as possible.

Consent

When you visit our website for the first time, we will show you a pop-up with an explanation about cookies. As soon as you save your cookie preferences, you consent to us using the categories of cookies and plug-ins you selected in the pop-up, as described in this policy. You can disable the use of cookies via your browser, but please note that our website may no longer work properly.

You can use your internet browser to automatically or manually delete cookies. You can also specify that certain cookies may not be placed. Another option is to change the settings of your internet browser so that you receive a message each time a cookie is placed. For more information about these options, please refer to the instructions in the Help section of your browser.

Please note that our website may not work properly if all cookies are disabled. If you do delete the cookies in your browser, they will be placed again after your consent when you visit our website again.

Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise 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 Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
