Privacy Policy
Who I Am
I’m John Alan. I care about your privacy and how your personal data is collected, used, stored, and protected when you interact with me.
What This Policy Covers
This policy explains what information I collect from you (when you comment, subscribe, contact me, etc.), how I use it, who I share it with, how long I keep it, and what rights you have concerning it.
What Information I Collect
– If you leave a comment or send me a message, I collect the information you provide (name, email address, content of message).
– I may log your IP address, browser type, or device information to help with security and to prevent spam.
– If you upload a file or image, that file may include metadata (for example location data) which could be visible.
Cookies & Tracking
– I use cookies to improve your experience. For example:
- to remember your name and email if you comment (so you don’t have to enter them again),
- to keep you logged in if you choose that option,
- to store display preferences.
– Some cookies are temporary (expire when you close your browser), others last longer (e.g. if you check “remember me” or allow persistent login).
Embedded Content From Other Sites
If I embed content (videos, images, posts) from other sites, that content behaves as if you visited the original site. Those third-party sites may collect data about you, use cookies, or track how you interact with their content.
How I Use Collected Information
– To respond to comments, messages, or other communications.
– To improve the website / content, fix bugs, or enhance security.
– To personalize your experience.
Who I Share Your Data With
– I don’t sell your personal information.
– If required (for legal, security reasons), or if I outsource services (such as hosting, email handling), I may share limited data with trusted third parties.
– If you request a password reset (if applicable), your IP address or relevant data might be included in the reset process.
How Long I Keep Your Information
– Comments, messages, and related metadata may be kept indefinitely so I can recognize any follow-ups or continue conversations.
– If you register with me (if that applies), your profile data is stored until you ask for deletion (or depending on operational or legal needs).
Your Rights Over Your Data
– You can request a copy of all personal data I have about you.
– You can request deletion of your personal data.
– If there’s incorrect or incomplete information, you can ask me to correct it.
– These rights may be limited if I need to hold some data for legal, security, or operational reasons.
Where Your Data Is Sent
– Any third-party services I use (hosting, analytics, email providers) may receive some data, under terms that require them to protect it.
– Some content (comments) may be checked via automated spam detection services.
Updates to This Policy
I may update this policy from time to time. When I do, I’ll post the updated version here. I encourage you to check back periodically.
