Privacy Policy

This privacy policy explains what personal data is collected when you visit stillrunningstrong.com (later referred to as “Site”) and how this information is used. Personal data is any information about you by which you can be identified.

 

What personal information may be collected

• your name and email address (only if you provide it voluntarily)

• anything you write in the comments or send using the contact page

• your IP address

• your girlfriend’s name and phone number (joking!)

 

Comments

When you leave comments, the Site collects the data shown in the comments form, your IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

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. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. By storing the data, follow-up comments can be recognized and approved automatically instead of being held in a moderation queue.

If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to save your name and email address in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
