Who we are

Our website address is: https://alanhorganstudio.com.

What personal data do we collect and why do we collect it?
Subscription & contact forms

If you choose to provide your name and email address into our site's subscription form, then we may send you our newsletter, emails relating to business updates, as well as marketing offers from time to time. You may opt out of receiving future mailings at any time. If you would like to be removed from our database, please let us know. If you wish to stop receiving our newsletter or other emails, please use the unsubscribe link in the email we have sent you. If you choose to provide your name, email address, or phone number into our site's contact form, then we will merely use this information to contact you to respond to your inquiry.

Reviews

When visitors leave reviews on the site we collect the data shown in the review 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 review, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Financial data

Financial information (such as credit card number and expiration date) is merely used to charge you for the products you are purchasing. We will never, under any circumstances, provide these details to any third party, other than the credit card authorization processors Stripe and PayPal.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to help us monitor the website's performance. These cookies store website information such as the number of visitors to the website, the number of unique visitors, which pages of the website have been visited, the source of the visit, etc. This data helps us understand and analyze how well the website performs and where it may need improvement.

Cookies

If you leave a review or a comment on our 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 review. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we 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, we 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.

Do we share your data?

We respect your privacy and we will never disclose your personal information with any other persons, companies, or third-party organizations, except where you have given us permission to do so or if it is required by the law.

How long do we retain your data?

If you leave a review, the review and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we 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 do you have over your data?

If you have an account on this site or have left reviews or comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where do we send your data?

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

How do we protect your data?

In order to prevent unauthorized access, our site uses strict security procedures in the storage and disclosure of information that you have provided to us. We take all reasonable precautions to ensure the security of personal data stored on our system.

All your personal data is password-protected. Merely registered users and our support staff have access to this data. If you are a registered user, you will be able to edit or delete your personal information details at any time using your own ID and password.
