Who I am

I’m a fan of hip-hop, and particularly of similes in hip-hop. My website address is: https://ihhsdb.com (clue: you’re looking at it). You can also email me at hello@ihhsdb.com if you like.

What personal data I collect and why I collect it

Comments

When you leave a comment, the site collects the data shown in the comments form, and also your IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. It’s pretty standard stuff.

An anonymised string created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. Read the Gravatar service privacy policy. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on the site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These cookies will last for one year. They’re meant to make life easier if you come back – but no pressure.

If you have an account and you log in to this site, 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.

Embedded content from other websites

This site includes embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you’d visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Google analytics

I’m running Google Analytics so I can see how many people visit the site, and how they behave when they get here. This is to help me make the site better. I’ve enabled IP anonymisation so you cannot be identified.

Who I share your data with

Absolutely no-one.

How long I retain your data

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

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.

Where I send your data

Visitor comments are checked through an automated spam detection service.
