Watts365 is a personal blog by Rob Watts (UC Rob). I try to collect as little about you as possible. This page says what that is.
Who is responsible
Rob Watts, at watts365.com. Contact: blog@watts365.com.
What this site collects
The site is a static website. It has no comments, no accounts, no login, no contact form and no newsletter, so I don’t collect names, email addresses or anything you type in.
Hosting. The site is hosted on GitHub Pages. Like any web host, GitHub may process technical data such as your IP address and browser details to deliver the pages and keep the service secure. I don’t have access to that as server logs. See the GitHub privacy statement.
Your cookie choice. Your answer to the cookie banner is saved in your browser’s local storage on your device. It isn’t sent to me. Details are in the Cookie Policy.
Only if you accept cookies
Analytics (Microsoft Clarity). If you accept, Clarity records how you use the site: pages viewed, clicks, scrolling, and anonymised session replays, along with technical details such as your device, browser, approximate location and IP address. Clarity masks sensitive input by default, and there is nothing on this site for you to type into anyway. I use it to improve posts. Microsoft processes this data. The legal basis is your consent, and you can withdraw it at any time from Cookie settings in the footer. See the Microsoft privacy statement.
Buy Me a Coffee button. If you accept, a button loads from Buy Me a Coffee’s servers. That means your browser connects to them, and they can see your IP address and set their own cookies. If you choose to donate, that happens on their site and under their privacy policy, and I receive only what they pass on to me, such as a name and message you choose to leave.
If you decline, neither loads.
Links and embedded content
Posts link to other sites, and some older posts embed images or content from elsewhere. Those sites may collect data under their own policies. Clicking a link takes you out of my control.
Contacting me
If you email me, I’ll use your address only to reply, and I’ll keep the conversation for as long as it’s useful.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law you can ask what personal data I hold about you, ask me to correct or delete it, object to its use, and withdraw consent at any time. For anything held by Microsoft, GitHub or Buy Me a Coffee, you’ll need to contact them directly. Email blog@watts365.com and I’ll help where I can. If you’re unhappy with how your data is handled, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
Changes
If I change how the site works, I’ll update this page and the date at the top.
