If you have opted-in to receiving emails or other marketing materials sent via email, you may opt-out at any time via the unsubscribe feature that appears in our emails or by emailing hello@tomholderppc.com.

We will never sell, trade or rent out your email address or give it to another company to use as if they acquired it themselves. We will, however, use it with third-party applications like our email service provider, ActiveCampaign.

Blog Comments

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.

An anonymised 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 is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

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

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise 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.
