Privacy Policy

Greetings Rogues!

If you’ve ended up here it means that like me, you are concerned about how your personal data is handled. Given the current scrutiny on data control, which has been a long time coming in my opinion, I want you to feel assured that it is my policy to respect your privacy regarding any information collected by me or provided by you, in any of the circumstances set out below.

As such, I have put in place this privacy policy in order for you to understand how I collect, use, communicate, disclose, safeguard and otherwise make use of your personally identifiable information (“Personal Data”). I’ve used a privacy policy that was designed specifically for authors, so everything should be above board! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to email me!

Personal data will only be collected and used in the following circumstances:

  • Where I have lawful grounds to do so, including to comply with our legal obligations;
  • Where I are performing a contract with you for our services; and
  • Where I have legitimate interests in using your Personal Data and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.

For my EU readers and subscribers, and the purposes of the EU General Data Protection Regulation ((EU) 2016/679) (“GDPR”), I, David Ryker, am the “data controller”. If you have any questions about this policy or about how I may use your Personal Data, please contact me via my contact form at the end of this policy.

This policy is effective as of the 9th of August 2018. My privacy practices will be reviewed on an ongoing basis, and as such I may change this privacy policy from time to time. Please check this page frequently to ensure you are familiar with its current content.
