Who we are
It’s more the royal we, as in ‘We are not amused’. Really it’s just me.
I’ve had a ‘drain the swamp’ page on Facebook for a few years now and have a slowly growing number of like-minded followers (about 4,000) who are also fed up with the state of this country and not unreasonably want the government and the establishment to clean up their act.
Comments
Blurb: When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
(This is a line about Gravatar images, but I’m not enabling that!)
Default blurb aside, I have neither the time nor inclination to see who you are. All comments are vetted, mostly to kill spam. If your comment is not spam or too inflamatory, I’ll probably allow it.
Media
Blurb: 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.
Good advice, but images can also have viruses embedded in them. You ain’t uploading images here, or linking to them!
Cookies
Blurb:
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website 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.
If you visit our login page, 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.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Log in? Allowing randoms to post and edit shit!? Not happening!
Embedded content from other websites
So, external to other sites, Facebook, Youtube, etc.
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 share your data with:
The important answer is: Nobody
The caveat being, we do use WordPress and plugins including Google analytics, and they will gather usage related data, as will the server log. This has always been true, even going back over 30 years.
This is a world away from chatting away to your partner in your living room about buying an [item] and your smartphones, smart TV, smart fridge and Alexa all listening in, whispering to each other, and the next minute there are streams of adverts saying ‘[item] recommended for you’ on Facebook and Amazon etc. It’s enough to make anyone paranoid!
If I add Google Adsense at some point to help improve the content of this site, they’ll be spying on you, but they do that anyway, when you do a Google search, when you log into Facebook, etc. They are all doing it! 
But the likes of sites using companies computers like Admiral…
It annoys the living hell out of me when I visit some news or games sites and they want to “share your details with 512 partners and associates (who will sell your details on). You can’t access this page unless you agree!”
Default blurb: “If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.”
(Not happening, so not a problem!)
How long we retain your data
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.
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.
(I don’t want any registered users, thank you, so that’s that)
What rights you have over your data
Default: “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.”
(I do not keep a file of this stuff and if WordPress hides one away, I’ve not heard of it. I assume that paragraph is for sites that add users and members.)
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
