Who we are

Our website address is: https://virginorpigeon.org. Who we are is irrelevant.

Comments

If visitors were able to leave comments on the site, we might collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. But comments and replies and discussions are disabled here. We simply don’t give two shits. For a short time, I was using a little JS blurb to grab user location info, for automatically calculating appropriate Resh times for them, but that became obnoxious. 99.9% of the planet don’t know what that information means, and 100% of the few that do already know. This website is a private project, and while you are welcome to be here, you are just as welcome to leave without a trace. There are some analytics on the site, but I’m not selling them or promoting products, or doing anything else that earns a penny. This site is about fun for me personally, not profit, nor fun for you.

The rest of this Privacy Page is just the stock crap the theme carried with it, because it is my understanding that some nations actually care about the privacy of their citizenry. And good for them. But I don’t care enough to bother rewriting this. So the take away here is you are welcome to visit, but I promise nothing except that I will not try to financially profit from you.


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.

Cookies

Suggested text: 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.

Embedded content from other websites

Suggested text: 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

Suggested text: If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How long we retain your data

Suggested text: 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.

What rights you have over your data

Suggested text: 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.

Where your data is sent

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