This Privacy Policy explains how Steel and Strop (“we”, “us”, “our”, steelandstrop.com) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit this Site.
Information we collect
We collect information in a few limited ways:
Comments. When you leave a comment, we collect the data shown in the comment form, along with your IP address and browser user agent string, to help with spam detection.
Cookies. If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience on future comments. These cookies last for one year. Our Site, like most, also uses standard technical cookies needed for basic functionality and performance/caching.
Embedded content. Articles on this Site may include embedded content (for example, videos or images from other sites). Embedded content from other websites behaves in exactly the same way as if the visitor had visited that other website, which may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content.
Analytics. We may use standard analytics tools to understand aggregate traffic and site usage. This data is used to improve the Site and is not used to personally identify individual visitors.
Amazon Associates and affiliate disclosure
Steel and Strop is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases made through links on this Site, at no additional cost to you.
Amazon and its affiliated companies may collect information about your visit to Amazon.com when you follow a link from our Site, in accordance with Amazon’s own privacy policy. We do not control and are not responsible for how Amazon or other third-party retailers handle your data.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. Registered users (if any) can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except their username).
Your rights over your data
If you have left comments on this Site, you can request 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, except where we are required to keep it for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page.
