What personal data we collect, why we collect it, how long we retain it and where we send it

Cookies

We use cookies on Lawful Survival. A cookie is a piece of data stored on a site visitor’s hard drive to help us improve your access to our site and identify repeat visitors to our site. Cookies may also enable us to track and target user interests to improve experience on our website in the future.

• We don’t collect personal information unless it is needed (e.g. newsletter)
• We don’t share your personal information except to comply with the law
• We don’t store your personal information on our servers unless it’s required to operate one of our website services (e.g. comments)

Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information about you. Any personal information is only collected when you voluntarily provide it, such as providing your email address to subscribe to a newsletter.

Comments

When you leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also your 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. The Gravatar service Privacy Policy applies. 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. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

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.

Incident reports

If you submit an incident report we will store your submission indefinitely. Ensure your submission does not include any personally identifiable information or those of others. Do not submit reports of any incidents that are subject to ongoing police or equivalent criminal justice investigation.

No personally identifiable information will be collected beyond your submission except for a tokenised version of your IP address, which has been securely hashed (similar to a password), for anti-spam purposes.

Because we do not collect any personally identifiable information as part of the submission process, we may be unable to delete your submission at a later date as we will be unable to verify that you were the original author of the submission without written evidence (which may include, at Lawful Survival’s discretion, a matching IP address at the time of submission or a carbon copy version of the text-based account).

We may include your submission as part of our growing body of statistics, which will be aggregated with submissions from other users.

We may publish text or video-based scenarios based on your submission from time to time, but these will never include any personally identifiable information from you or any other person mentioned in the submission. We will change names, locations and/or any other words or phrases that Lawful Survival believes (at its own discretion) could make the account become personally identifiable.

Our aim is to educate and your submission will help us to teach and inform others, but we will always do everything we can to protect your personal data.

If you have any questions or concerns, please message us using our Contact Us form with the subject title “Incident Report Query”.

Contact forms

If you send us a message using our contact form, we may keep your submission (including name, email address and message) for a certain period for customer service purposes, but we do not use the information submitted through them for marketing purposes.

This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply.

Newsletters

If you sign up to our newsletter, we will keep your name and email address indefinitely or until you choose to unsubscribe. By subscribing to the our newsletter you consent to receiving occasional emails from Lawful Survival. Lawful Survival does not share your information.

We use Mailchimp to provide this service and their Privacy Policy and Acceptable Use Policy applies.

User accounts

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.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has 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.

Who we may share your data with

We do not share your data with strangers. It is in some cases provided to our trusted partners in order to either make providing the service to you possible or to enhance your customer experience. We may share your data with:

• Google Analytics

• Amazon

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

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.
