Who we are
This website is operated by G M Greene / Verkko Publishing PT. Our website address is: https://techdet.verkkopublishing.com
What personal data we collect and why
Newsletter signup
If you subscribe to our newsletter via the form on this site, we collect your email address. This is sent to and stored by Mailchimp (The Rocket Science Group LLC), our email marketing provider, who process it on our behalf to deliver newsletter emails. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link included in every email we send, or by contacting us directly (see below). We do not use your email address for any purpose other than sending the newsletter you signed up for.
Analytics
This site uses Google Site Kit, which may include Google Analytics, to understand how visitors use the site (e.g. which pages are viewed, how long visitors stay). This involves the use of cookies and similar technologies, and may involve data being processed by Google. You can control or opt out of this via the cookie consent banner shown when you first visit the site.
Affiliate links
This site contains affiliate links to Amazon (via the Amazon Associates / OneLink programme). If you click through and make a purchase, Amazon may set a cookie to track the referral for the purposes of paying us a commission. We do not receive or store any personal data about you as part of this process — that relationship is between you and Amazon, governed by Amazon’s own privacy policy.
Cookie consent
We use a cookie consent tool to record your cookie preferences and, where required, to obtain your consent before non-essential cookies (such as analytics) are set. Your IP address may be processed in anonymised form as part of recording that consent. No personally identifiable information is shared with the consent tool provider as part of this process.
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 had visited the other website directly.
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.
How long we keep your data
Email addresses collected via the newsletter signup are retained for as long as you remain subscribed, and are deleted from Mailchimp when you unsubscribe or upon request. Analytics data is retained according to Google’s standard retention settings.
Your rights
Under GDPR, you have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data, and the right to object to or restrict how it’s processed. To exercise any of these rights regarding your newsletter subscription, please contact us using the details below. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority — in Portugal, this is the Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados (CNPD).
