Other information we collect.

Leaving Comments on blog articles.

The Jodi Ellen Malpas website offers users the opportunity to leave individual comments on blog articles. If you leave a comment on the articles published on this website, the comments are also stored and published, as well as information on the date of the commentary and on the user’s (pseudonym). In addition, the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) to the data subject is also logged. This storage of the IP address takes place for security reasons, and in case the data subject violates the rights of third parties or posts illegal content through a given comment. The storage of this personal data is, therefore, in the interest of Jodi Ellen Malpas, so that we can exculpate in the event of an infringement. This collected personal data will not be passed to third parties, unless such a transfer is required by law or serves the aim of the defence of Jodi Ellen Malpas.

Social buttons.

On many of the pages of the Jodi Ellen Malpas website you will see ‘social buttons’. These enable users to share or bookmark the web pages. There are buttons for: Twitter, Facebook ‘Like’, Instagram, and Pinterest. In order to implement these buttons and connect them to the relevant social networks and external sites, there are scripts from domains outside of the Jodi Ellen Malpas website. You should be aware that these sites are likely to be collecting information about what you are doing all around the internet, including on the Jodi Ellen Malpas website. So if you click on any of these buttons, these sites will be registering that action and may use that information. In some cases these sites will be registering the fact that you are visiting jodiellenmalpas.co.uk, and the specific pages you are on, even if you don’t click on the button if you are logged into their services, like Google and Facebook. You should check the respective policies of each of these sites to see how exactly they use your information and to find out how to opt out, or delete, such information.

Email tracking.

The newsletter emails we send contain tracking so that we can tell how much traffic those emails send to our site and we can track, at an individual level, whether the user has opened and clicked on the email. We rarely use the latter information at a personal level, rather we use it to understand open and click rates on our emails to try and improve them. Sometimes we do use the personal information e.g. to re-email people who didn’t click the first time. If you want to be sure that none of your email activity is tracked then you should unsubscribe from the Jodi Ellen Malpas newsletter.

External web services.

We use a number of external web services on the Jodi Ellen Malpas website, mostly to display content within our web pages. For example, we use YouTube to show video and SoundCloud for Audio. This is not an exhaustive or complete list of the services we use, or might use in the future, when embedding content, but these are the most common. As with the social buttons we cannot prevent these sites, or external domains, from collecting information on your usage of this embedded content. If you are not logged in to these external services then they will not know who you are but are likely to gather anonymous usage information e.g. number of views, plays, loads etc.

Links to other websites.

Our website contains links to other websites of interest. However, once you have used these links to leave our site, you should note that we do not have any control over that other website. Therefore, we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information which you provide whilst visiting such sites and such sites are not governed by this privacy statement. You should exercise caution and look at the privacy statement applicable to the website in question.
