What personal data I collect and why I collect it

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 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.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on my site 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 visit the login page, I 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. 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.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

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

How long I 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 (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.

What 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 us. You can also request that we 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.

Where I send your data

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

Additional information

I collect personal information from you when you (i) submit questions or material to us, (ii) register on this website, (iii) purchase a product from us, (iv) email us or post content on our social media pages or (v) enter one of our competitions. The type of personal information we may collect (if applicable) includes the following: name, gender, user name, password, email address, postal address, phone number, and mobile number. Credit card information is held securely on a financial services approved location and cannot be accessed by us.

Personal Information

All the information I collect from you is used to operate and improve the service we offer to you. We use such personal information collected through this website for the purposes of:

  • providing a personalised service;
  • enhancing the user experience of this website;
  • conducting market research surveys;
  • fulfilling product orders;
  • recording your full purchase history;
  • running features that incorporate submissions to the website;
  • running competitions; and

providing you with information about, and access to, products and services we offer, either ourselves or jointly with or on behalf of other organisations.

I will not rent or sell your name, address, email address, payment card information or personal information to any third party without your permission. If you have purchased goods from me, subscribed to my newsletter, entered any of my competitions, or advised me of your postal address and phone number I may occasionally update you on news and special opportunities via email, post and phone.

Shopping

I accept payments through PayPal. When processing payments, some of your data will be passed to PayPal, including information required to process or support the payment, such as the purchase total and billing information. Please see the PayPal Privacy Policy for more details.

By using this Paypal extension, you may be storing personal data or sharing data with an external service. By using the Stripe extension, you may be storing personal data or sharing data with an external service.

When shopping, Mailchimp may keep a record of your email and the cart contents for up to 30 days on my server. This record is kept to repopulate the contents of your cart if you switch devices or needed to come back another day. Read Mailchimp privacy policy here.

Newsletters

I may offer free newsletters to share information with you about the website, about me and my affiliates and subsidiaries, or about my business partners and advertisers and sponsors. You may receive a newsletter either by registering for a particular newsletter or in conjunction with a special feature or membership for which you have registered on the website. You may cancel your free email subscription by following the instructions provided on the website or, in some instances, in the designated area of certain newsletters or emails.

Any promotional email that you receive from me will also allow you to unsubscribe to further email promotions if you decide at a later stage that you no longer wish to receive emails with news and special offers from Zé Monteiro or CHIMPAN zine.

Data Protection

Your personal information will be stored at facilities located in the UK. Zé Monteiro and CHIMPAN zine will have no liability for disclosure of information due to errors in transmission or unauthorised acts of third parties. In addition, I may disclose any information, including personally identifiable information, to comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request. I will also release specific information in special cases, such as if there is an attempted breach of security or a physical threat to you or others.

I treat your personal information as confidential, complying with the UK Data Protection Act 1998. The personal information that I hold about you will be accurate and up to date. You can check the information that I hold about you by sending me an email at hello@zemonteiro.com. If you find any inaccuracies, I will delete or correct them promptly. The personal information that I hold about you will be held securely in accordance with my internal security policy and the law.

Service Providers

I may retain other companies and individuals to perform functions on my behalf in relation to the purposes set forth in this privacy policy. Examples include credit/debit card validation and authorisation agencies, data analysis firms, customer support specialists, webhosting companies, and fulfilment companies (e.g. companies that coordinate mailings). Such third parties may be provided with access to your personal information if needed to perform their functions, but may not use such information for any other purpose.

Competition Surveys

From time to time I may provide you the opportunity to take part in competitions or surveys on my website. If you participate, I will request certain Personal Information from you. Participation in these surveys or competitions is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether or not to disclose this information. The requested information typically includes contact information (such as name and address). Your personally identifiable information may be used to contact you for winner notification, prize delivery confirmation or other related purposes. I may ask your permission to allow me to post publicly some of your information on the website, such as on a winner’s page, in the event you win a competition or sweepstakes. Except as required by applicable law, I will not post your information without your permission. I may decide to use a third party service provider to conduct these competitions or surveys. Any such company will be prohibited from using our users’ Personal Information for any other purpose unless you give your consent. The name of any such company will be visible on any page where you are invited to part with your information or views. I will never share the personally identifiable information you provide through a competition or survey with other third parties unless I give you prior notice and choice. In those cases where I are not the operator or host of the competition or sweepstake, I have no control over the information collected and accordingly urge you to review the advertiser’s or sponsor’s privacy policy applicable to the competition or sweepstakes before participating.

Links

Zé Monteiro’s and CHIMPAN zine’s websites may contain links to or from other websites which are not under the control nor maintained by me. This privacy policy applies only to the information that I collect on this website. Links are provided for your convenience only and I am not responsible for the content of those sites.  I encourage you to read the privacy policies of the other websites you link to from our website.

Children

Zé Monteiro’s website (www.zemonteiro.com) and its subdomains do not knowingly collect information from children. If a child has provided me with personally identifiable information, a parent or guardian of that child may contact me if they would like this information deleted from my records. I will use reasonable efforts to delete the child’s information from my databases.

Notification Of Changes

I may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. If I decide to change my Privacy Policy, I will post the revised policy here. As I may make changes at any time without notifying you, I suggest that you periodically consult this Privacy Policy.
