Privacy Policy

Who we are

Our website address is: https://soundcarrot.com. We’re a team made up or Dad, Daughter, and Son. We’re building this site because we love podcasts and audio-drama, and because it’s fun.

What personal data we collect and why we collect it

We do not collect personal data from our visitors and by default our website only collects personal data should you choose to register for an account. This may include your name, email address, and account preferences.

Comments

We only allow registered website users to leave reviews and comments on our website. When this happens we’ll collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

Media

We don’t allow user uploads of media to the website. All media you see is copyright to the respective owners and displayed only to help visualise the episodes.

Cookies

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

For more information about other cookies we use please see our Cookie Policy. (It’s a short list)

Embedded content from other websites

Pages on this site may include embedded content (for example the Podcast Audio files). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

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.

Who we share your data with

We do not share your data. If you register with us and subsequently request a password reset, the IP address requesting the reset will be included in the reset email.

How long we retain your data

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, we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their own personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where we send your data

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

Analytics

Like any website we seek to understand what activity happens across our pages. To this end we make use of Plausible Analytics, a privacy first website metrics package that does not set tracking cookies or identify you as a user. This is hosted and managed on our own server and all data is in aggregate only meaning we get actionable data to help us learn and improve, whilst you have an enjoyable website experience without being profiled.

Litespeed Cache

This site utilises caching in order to facilitate a faster response time and better user experience. Caching potentially stores a duplicate copy of every web page that is on display on this site. All cache files are temporary, and are never accessed by any third party, except as necessary to obtain technical support from the cache plugin vendor. Cache files expire on a schedule set by the site administrator, but may easily be purged by the admin before their natural expiration, if necessary. We may use QUIC.cloud services to process & cache your data temporarily.Please see https://quic.cloud/privacy-policy/ for more details.
