Cookies
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.
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.
What data we collect
Unless you specifically put personally-identifying information into a “Contact Us” form, or “GuestBook Posting”, we keep nothing significant other than the IP address of where your actions came from and some non-personally identifying information about the browser you used to visit. Here is an example that lets us know you’re likely using Safari on a Mac:
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/96.0.4664.110 Safari/537.36For statistics and because Mike is a nerd about this sort of thing, we used IP-based geolocation service which gets us down to the City where you pressed the “Bubbles Button”. The “City” part isn’t so accurate but we use it in our “Last 50 Bubble Clicks” to give “somewhat” accurate information about where our viewers come from. In short, IP-based geolocation indicates where you get your internet service, not where you actually are when you blow bubbles.
Google Analytics is a web analytics service offered by Google that tracks and reports website traffic. When you visit our website, Google Analytics may collect certain information about you, such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, device type, and the pages you visit on our site. This information is collected through the use of cookies and other tracking technologies. The data collected by Google Analytics is used to provide us with insights into how users interact with our website and to help us improve our website. We do not have access to any personally identifiable information that Google may collect about you through their analytics service. By using our website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above.
If you make a public Guestbook posting and later decide you’d like to remove it, reach out to us via our contact page and we’ll remove it. Yeah… We drink too 🙂
Who we share your data with
Nobody unless we’re complying with the authorities. Although we use Google Analytics, we’re not technically sharing data with them. Instead, they are collecting the data themselves and share it with us to help us understand how our visitors interact with our site. We don’t collect any personally identifiable data unless you give it to us via our contact form or guest book.
How long we retain your data
Disk space is dirt-cheap, so odds are, we’ll keep it for quite a while.
Where we send your data
Guestbook postings may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
