Email Subscriptions Privacy

The email Subscription service on this site is provided by Automattic under their WordPress.com brand. Their privacy policy can be found here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. To set up and process subscriptions, they use the subscriber’s email address, as well as the ID of the post or comment (if you subscribe by ticking one of the boxes at the bottom of a particular post).

In the event of a new subscription being initiated, they also collect some basic server data, including all of the subscribing user’s HTTP request headers, the IP address from which the subscribing user is viewing the page, and the URL which was given in order to access the page. This server data is used for the exclusive purpose of monitoring and preventing abuse and spam.

Users of our email subscription service can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the link in the footer of any email received via the service, or by contacting us at enquiries@middevonmessenger.org.uk using the email account that they wish to be unsubscribed.

How Your Data is Protected

This site employs a secure (https) connection and, as such, any data you exchange with the site is encrypted. Access to data held within the site is password-protected and subject to additional layers of security.

This site is hosted on a secure server situated within the UK. Lists of email accounts that receive emails via our email subscription service may be held by Automattic on servers outside the UK or EU, where they are safeguarded to the same standards as if the data was held within the UK or EU – see: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
