This policy explains how Specifiction, published by Yorker Media, handles information when you visit https://specifiction.org, contact us or leave a comment. For privacy enquiries, email [email protected].
Information you provide
A contact message may include your name, email address and the details you choose to submit. Comments may include a display name, email, website and comment text; approved names and comments can be public. Please do not submit unnecessary sensitive information.
Hosting and security
Our hosting and security services can process IP addresses, browser/device details, request times and requested pages to deliver and protect the site. Cloudflare provides delivery and security services; see its Privacy policy. Akismet spam filtering may process comment and technical information; see Automattic’s visitor notice.
Cookies and site preferences
WordPress may use cookies for sign-in and comment conveniences. Appearance preferences can be stored in your browser. You can clear cookies and site data through browser settings, although this may reset preferences or sign you out.
Advertising and external links
Google and other advertising partners may use cookies or similar identifiers to select and measure ads, subject to applicable choices. Learn more at Google’s partner-site policy and manage Google ad personalisation through My Ad Center. Following an advertising, affiliate, retailer or support link takes you to a service governed by its own privacy terms. We do not receive your payment-card details from those transactions.
Contact delivery
Contact Form 7 processes the site’s contact form. Messages are routed to this publication’s domain mailbox on Yorker Media’s mail server. Authorised copies may be forwarded to our business inboxes, including Google-hosted accounts, to handle enquiries. Delivery services process message content, sender details and technical information for that purpose. Contacting us does not automatically subscribe you to marketing.
Access, retention and requests
Access is limited to people and service providers involved in operating the publication, handling enquiries, protecting systems or meeting applicable obligations. Information is kept for the purpose for which it is needed; backups may retain earlier copies until normal rotation. Providers may process information in countries other than your own.
Contact us to ask about, correct or request deletion of information associated with you. Include enough context to locate it. We may need to verify a request and retain records needed for security or applicable obligations. Available rights depend on your location.
Updates
This policy can change as the site’s services change. The date above identifies the latest revision. Our Contact page is the route for questions.
