Privacy

This site is run by Bryan McGuire. This page explains what it keeps about you, and how to have it removed.

The mailing list

If you subscribe, the site stores your email address, when you signed up and confirmed, and which page you signed up from. Nothing else: no name, no tracking of what you open or click.

  • Why: to send you a weekly email when something new has been published, and the occasional note. Links in it carry a tag saying they came from the newsletter, the same for everyone, so the site's visitor counter can tell how many visits the newsletter brings; it doesn't say who. You consent by signing up and confirming; nobody is added without clicking the confirmation link.
  • How it's sent: from bryan@bryanmcguire.co.uk, through Hostinger's email service.
  • How long it's kept: until you unsubscribe. Sign-ups that are never confirmed get one reminder and are deleted after seven days. After you unsubscribe, the address is kept only marked as unsubscribed, so you're never emailed again. Ask and it will be deleted entirely.
  • Leaving: every email has a one-click unsubscribe link.
  • Sharing: your address is never sold or shared with anyone.

Myth suggestions

If you suggest a belief to test, the site stores what you wrote, the page you sent it from and when. Your name and email are stored only if you give them.

  • Why: so Bryan can consider it for a Myth or Maths piece, reply to you if you left an email, and credit you by name if you left one and it becomes a piece. It's emailed to Bryan when you send it.
  • How long it's kept: while the suggestion is on the list of ideas. Ask and it will be deleted.
  • Sharing: the belief itself may be quoted in a piece; your email address is never published, sold or shared.

Club enquiries

If you get in touch through the form on For Clubs, the site stores the club, league, your name, role and email, what you'd like help with, and when you sent it.

  • Why: so Bryan can reply and consider the club for a project. It's emailed to Bryan when you send it.
  • How long it's kept: while you're talking to Bryan about the work. Ask and it will be deleted.
  • Sharing: never published, sold or shared. A project is written up on the site only with the club's agreement.

Visits to the site

The site uses RegenInsite analytics to count visits and see which pages are read. It is cookieless: it sets no cookies and stores nothing on your device, so there's no banner to accept.

  • What it records: the page you visited, the site that sent you there, your screen width, how long the page took to load, how far down you scrolled, and which links to other sites you followed.
  • What it doesn't: anything you type. When you sign up to the mailing list it notes that the form was sent, not your email address. It doesn't store your IP address.
  • Opting out: if your browser sends a Do Not Track signal, nothing is recorded at all.

Your rights

You can ask what's held about you, have it corrected, or have it deleted, by emailing bryan@bryanmcguire.co.uk. If you're unhappy with the answer, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.
