What personal data we collect and why we collect it
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.
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.
Contact forms
Personal data captured when someone submits a contact form on this website is sent directly to my email address. I will delete the information contained in that mail after 6 months.
In addition, I do not use any information submitted through contact forms for marketing purposes nor do I share any information submitted through contact forms with any third party without the person’s express consent (except that I may share or share access to such information for the purposes of competent technical contractors involved in this website’s development).
Cookies

If you visit our 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.
When you log in, I 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.

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 tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Analytics
I use several packages to provide website analytics data. These include Google Analytics, Jetpack and Monster Insights plugins for WordPress. Links to the privacy policies for each plugin are available here:
Google Analytics – https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en
Google Analytics operates a data retention policy. Currently, for this website, the user-level and event-level data associated with cookies, user identifiers, or advertising identifiers are retained for 26 months before being deleted on a monthly basis. Other aggregate data (from which it is not possible to personally indentify individual users) is retained indefinitely.

https://www.jetpack.com/support/privacy
These plugins are used for the purpose of analysing website traffic. They collect non-personally-identifying information that is usually made available via web browsers.
I may occasionally publish information about the global traffic on this website in a way that does not identify any individual visitor. This information is gathered for the purposes of monitoring the popularity of the different pages on this website.
Who we share your data with
From time to time, I may require the services of a web developer in order to upgrade or change technical aspects of this website. If so, I may disclose your personal data information only to the chosen contractor/s and affiliated organisations that:
- need to know that information in order to process it on my behalf or to provide services available at my website, and
- that have agreed not to disclose it to others.
Some of those contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Enrique Opi’s website, you consent to the transfer of such information to them subject to the requirements of the law and always inside the European Union.
Enrique Opi will not rent or sell personal data to anyone. Enrique Opi will disclose personal data only in response to a court order, subpoena or other governmental request. If you are a subsriber to this website and have supplied your email address, I may send you an email to tell you about new information on posts, articles or books mostly related to Enrique’s blogs. My email list is relatively low volume and I will not be sending you spam or flooding your inbox with irrelevant information.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so I can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on this website, I 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). As a website administrator, I can also see and edit that information.
Contact form entries for six months, analytics records for a year, and customer purchase records for ten years.

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.
