When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments 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.

Analytics
What third parties we receive data from
We work closely with other third parties (including, for example, business partners, sub-contractors in technical, payment and delivery services, advertising networks, analytics providers, search information providers, credit reference agencies) and may receive information about you from them. The information we receive is used to enhance your experience with our Services.

Contactless Donations may process and store personal data, that you provide to us, on our internal and external third party hosted systems. Personal data that you provide to us shall be stored on systems with technical and organisational security measures and controls that strengthen data security. We will only store personal data for as long as necessary for Contactless Donations to process such personal data, or for as long as required prudent to applicable records retention obligations. If the personal information you provide is inaccurate or becomes out of date, then you must inform us and we will update our records.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment 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 you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left 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.
Opt-out
Contactless Donations will always provide recipients with an opportunity to opt-out or ‘unsubscribe’ from receiving further email content. This is because we only want to send information to people who are interested in receiving it. Contactless Donations is responsible for responding to ‘opt-out’ or ‘unsubscribe’ requests when requested to do so. In turn, our business partners are responsible for complying with all such requests by removing the appropriate person from their lists.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
