These data are collected by WordPress.com to help understand how visitors use the blog (e.g. to identify the most popular blog posts). sharronhinchliff.com may use these non-personally identifying data as an aggregate e.g. in the form of a report which outlines visitor numbers, and the countries where they are located. Again, these data do not personally identify the visitors.

This includes the Internet Protocol (IP) of the visitor, which can only be seen by the administrator of this blog. sharronhinchliff.com does not disclose this information to anyone. Email addresses or social media account names (e.g. WordPress, Twitter, Facebook) are collected when visitors leave a comment. Email addresses or WordPress account names are collected when visitors sign-up to follow the blog. sharronhinchliff.com does not share these personally-identifying details with anyone, although WordPress.com and its affiliated organisations (which provide support for sharronhinchliff.com by sending email alerts to followers when a new post has been published, or who check for spam) may have access (see the WordPress privacy policy here).  

sharronhinchliff.com does not sell personally-identifying information to anyone. It will only disclose such information in response to a legal request, or if disclosure is necessary to protect the rights of sharronhinchliff.com or the public at large.
