This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you use the website and how that information is handled.
Email subscriptions
If you choose to subscribe to Applied Methods by email, your email address is collected so that new articles and occasional publication updates can be sent to you.
Email subscriptions and newsletter delivery are managed through Sender.net, an email marketing service. Your email address is therefore processed by Sender for the purpose of managing your subscription and delivering emails.
You can unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in emails from Applied Methods. If you no longer have one of those emails available, you can contact me directly at adam@applied-methods.org and I will remove your address from the mailing list.
Applied Methods does not sell subscriber information or provide subscriber email addresses to advertisers.
Website analytics
Applied Methods uses Independent Analytics to understand how the website is being used, including information such as page views, visitor numbers, popular pages and referring websites.
Independent Analytics does not use cookies for its visitor tracking. Analytics information is stored within the website’s WordPress database and is used only to understand and improve the website.
Comments
When visitors leave comments, information submitted through the comment form may be collected together with technical information such as the visitor’s IP address and browser information. This may be used for moderation, security and spam prevention.
Comments may be moderated before publication.
Likes and other interactions
Applied Methods may provide features that allow visitors to like, share or otherwise interact with articles and Notes.
These features may process limited technical information where necessary to record an interaction, prevent repeated actions or protect the site from abuse.
Cookies
The website may use cookies where they are necessary for WordPress, administrative login functions, visitor preferences or other site features.
Some third-party features or embedded content may also use their own cookies.
Where cookie controls are provided, visitors can use them to review or change available preferences.
Embedded content and third-party services
Articles may sometimes include content from other websites, such as videos, images or other media.
Viewing or interacting with embedded content may allow the third-party provider to collect information or use cookies according to its own privacy policy. Interacting with embedded content is similar to visiting that third-party website directly.
Service providers
Applied Methods uses third-party services where necessary to operate the website and provide its features. These may include web hosting, email delivery, security, spam prevention and other WordPress services.
Personal information is shared with such services only where reasonably necessary for the function being provided.
Some service providers may process information outside the country in which a visitor lives.
How long information is retained
Subscriber information is retained while an email subscription remains active, subject to any information that may need to be retained for administrative, security or legal purposes.
Comments and associated information may be retained so that published discussions remain attached to the relevant article and can continue to be moderated.
Technical and administrative information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the operation and security of the website.
Your information
If you have provided personal information through Applied Methods, you may contact the site to ask what personal information is held about you or to request its deletion, subject to information that may need to be retained for legitimate administrative, security or legal reasons.
