Our website address is:

If you have any questions about this policy or how your data is handled, you can contact us using the details provided on this website.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This information helps with spam detection and site security.

An anonymised string created from your email address (also known as a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check whether you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at: https://automattic.com/privacy/.

Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if applicable) may be visible to the public alongside your comment.

Media

Images on this website are uploaded and managed by Lorna Writes for editorial and illustrative purposes only. Visitors are not able to upload media to the site.

Cookies

This website uses cookies to help it function properly and to improve your experience.

If you leave a comment on the site, you may choose to save your name, email address and website in cookies so you do not have to re-enter your details next time. These cookies last for up to one year.

The website may also set essential cookies for security and administrative purposes. These cookies do not contain personal data and are only accessible to site administrators.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (such as videos, images or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you had visited those websites directly.

These third-party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, particularly if you have an account with them and are logged in.

Who we share your data with

We do not sell or trade your personal data.

Visitor comments may be processed by automated spam detection services to help protect the website.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This helps us recognise and approve follow-up comments automatically rather than holding them for moderation.

If you contact Lorna Writes directly (for example, by email or contact form), correspondence is retained only for as long as necessary to respond to your enquiry or meet legal or administrative requirements.

What rights you have over your data

If you have left comments on this site or contacted us directly, you can request:

• A copy of the personal data we hold about you
• That we correct or delete your personal data

This does not include any data we are required to keep for administrative, legal or security purposes.

Requests can be made using the contact details provided on this website.

Lawful basis for processing data

We process personal data only where it is necessary to operate this website, respond to enquiries, prevent spam, or where you have chosen to provide information voluntarily (for example, by leaving a comment). This processing is carried out under legitimate interests or consent, in line with UK data protection law.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service to help keep the site secure.

Updates to this policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated occasionally to reflect changes to the website or legal requirements. Any updates will be published on this page.
