Paddock Wire respects your privacy. This policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, and what you can do about it. We collect as little as possible, and we do not sell your information to anyone.
What we collect
- Comments: if you leave a comment, we store the name and email address you provide, plus your comment. Your email address is never shown publicly. It is used only for comment moderation.
- Cookie choice: when you answer the cookie banner, your choice is saved in your own browser for 12 months. We do not store that choice on our servers.
- Embedded videos: pages with YouTube videos load content from YouTube. YouTube and Google may set cookies and collect data when a video plays, under their own privacy policy.
- Server logs: like most websites, our server keeps basic technical logs, such as the pages requested and the time of the request, for security and for keeping the site running.
What we do not collect
We do not run analytics on the site at present, we do not run advertising that tracks you, we do not ask you to create an account, and we do not send a newsletter. If any of that changes, this policy will be updated first.
Cookies
The cookie banner on every page lets you accept or decline cookies. You can change your mind at any time by clearing the cookies for this site in your browser, which will show the banner again. Declining does not stop you reading the site.
Your comments and your data
You may ask us to remove a comment you left, or to correct the name attached to it. Contact us through the Contact page and tell us which comment it is. We will remove comments that break our Terms of Use without being asked.
Children
Paddock Wire is a general audience site. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has left a comment with personal details, contact us and we will remove it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the site changes. The version on this page is the current one. If you have a question about your privacy on Paddock Wire, please use the Contact page.
