I may collect your personal data in the following ways:
Comments – When visitors leave comments on the site, I collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with 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. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.I will store your data securely and will not share it with any third parties, other than:
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 (if any), 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). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
If you subscribe to my newsletter or automatic email alerts, your data will be held indefinitely, unless you choose to unsubscribe or request the removal of your data.

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please email me at contact@plannersroute.com.
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, I may refuse to comply if your request is clearly unfounded or excessive.
I try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take longer if your request is particularly complex, or if you have made several requests. In this case, I will notify you and keep you updated.
If you are unhappy with any aspect of how I collect and use your data, you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues. I would be grateful if you would contact me first so that I can try to resolve the complaint for you.
