What personal data is collected, and why?

Like many websites, www.chloeingram.com uses cookies, which are small files that are saved to your computer when you visit a website. These are used to store information about your visit. These can be used for various purposes, including improving my services as a marketing consultant. Please be assured that your privacy is of the utmost importance to me; for your additional security my website is encrypted with an SSL certificate for your protection while browsing.

If you would like to know how to manage cookies, please visit the information commissioner’s website which includes links to information on controlling or deleting cookies on all major browsers including Chrome, Safari, Internet Explorer and Opera. Personally I like to go into my browser settings and delete all cookies from time to time, allowing me to roam freely across the internet as if it’s my very first visit.

How is your data used?

I personally don’t collect any cookies – if you keep them too long, they go stale. But many of the resources on www.chloeingram.com do like to store cookies, here’s why:

Google Analytics uses cookies to track your visit

This website uses anonymised data from Google Analytics to help me measure and analyse website traffic to www.chloeingram.com. This provides me with information such as which browser and device you are using to access the website. I use this to understand visitor behaviour and to improve your user experience, including creating the best possible marketing content. This process of understanding and responding to visitor behaviour also helps me to become a better marketing consultant. You can read more about how Google uses your data in their updated privacy policy.

Marketing and advertising cookies for Chloe Ingram services

From time to time, I may use information about your site visit for marketing purposes, including creating personalised adverts on third party websites, including Google Adwords conversion tracking, Google Adwords remarketing and Facebook remarketing. These third party vendors, including Google and Facebook, may use cookies to remember your visit to this site and show you appropriate adverts on other sites across the internet. This is to help remind you of the fantastic marketing consulting services available at chloeingram.com. You can turn off personalisation for participating ad networks from the Ad Choices website, or the Network Advertising Initiative consumer opt out page.

Chloe Ingram blog comments

Where comments are enabled on my marketing blog posts, any information you leave, including any personally identifiable information that you supply about yourself may be displayed to other users. This data is collected by WordPress in the comments form, along with your 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.

Cookies

If you leave a comment 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 have an account and you log in to this site, WordPress 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.

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 tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

How long your data is retained for

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.

The 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 I hold about you, including any data you have provided to me. You can also request that I erase any personal data I hold about you. This does not include any data I am obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes. Please visit my Chloe Ingram contact details page to get in touch with me regarding your personal data, or if you would like advice on any aspect of marketing services.

Where I send your data

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