Time to Kill Now is a website at https://www.timetokillnow.com. This policy explains what information the site collects, how it is used, and how you can ask about it.
The short version: this site collects as little personal information as practical. I do not sell, rent, trade, or voluntarily share visitor or subscriber data. Information is used only to operate the site, manage comments, send requested email updates, understand aggregate site traffic, and maintain security.
Who Runs This Site
This website is operated from Canada by Benjamin Massey, who can be contacted here.
The website is hosted on physical equipment based in the United States. This means some information processed by the site may be stored or processed outside Canada, including in the United States, where it may be subject to the laws of that jurisdiction.
Information Collected When You Visit
When you visit the site, the web server may automatically receive technical information such as:
- your IP address
- browser type and version
- operating system
- referring page
- pages requested
- date and time of the request
This information is used for ordinary website operation, troubleshooting, security, abuse prevention, and server administration.
Analytics
This site uses Koko Analytics for basic website statistics.
Koko Analytics is a self-hosted WordPress analytics plugin. It does not use an external analytics service such as Google Analytics. Its purpose is to provide aggregate information such as page views, popular posts, and referring sites.
Koko Analytics is intended to avoid tracking individual visitors across the web. It stores aggregate statistics rather than profiles of individual visitors.
Koko Analytics may use a short-lived cookie to help estimate unique visits without storing personal information. This cookie is used only for site analytics and not for advertising or cross-site tracking.
E-mail Subscriptions
This site uses Noptin, a WordPress newsletter plugin, to manage email subscriptions.
If you subscribe to receive email updates, the site collects the information you provide in the subscription form. This will normally be your email address and may include your name if the form asks for it.
Noptin subscriber data is stored in this site’s WordPress database. I do not intentionally sync subscriber data to Noptin’s servers, a third-party email marketing platform, a CRM, or any other third-party platform.
Subscriber information may include:
- email address
- name, if provided
- subscription status
- signup form or signup source
- consent and subscription timestamps
- technical information associated with the signup, such as IP address, if collected by the plugin
This information is used only to send email updates you requested, such as notifications when new posts are published, and to manage unsubscribes and subscription records.
You can unsubscribe using the link included in subscription emails. You can also contact me to ask that your subscription data be deleted.
Email Delivery
This site uses WP Mail SMTP and Postmark to deliver email.
When the site sends you an email, information necessary to deliver that message may be processed by Postmark. This can include your email address, message content, subject line, delivery metadata, and technical information needed to route and troubleshoot email delivery.
Postmark is used as an email delivery provider. It is not used by this site to sell, rent, or trade subscriber data.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, WordPress collects the information shown in the comment form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection, moderation, and site security.
An anonymized string created from your email address, also called a hash, is provided to the Gravatar service to see whether you use it. If your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Comments and their metadata may be retained indefinitely so WordPress can recognize and approve follow-up comments and preserve the comment thread.
This site uses Akismet to help detect comment spam. When you leave a comment, information associated with the comment may be sent to Akismet/Automattic for spam detection, including the comment content, IP address, user agent, referrer, and other information submitted with the comment.
Comment Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may be able to opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are for convenience so you do not have to fill in your details again when leaving another comment. WordPress comment cookies commonly last for one year.
Embedded Content From Other Websites
Posts on this site may include embedded content, such as videos, images, social media posts, or other articles.
Embedded content from another website behaves as if you visited that other website directly. Those websites may collect data about you, use cookies, include third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, especially if you have an account with that service and are logged in.
Fonts
This site uses Google Fonts to display typography. When your browser loads these fonts, it may contact Google servers and send technical information such as your IP address, browser details, and the page requesting the font.
Links to Other Websites
This site links to other websites. I am not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy of the destination site applies.
Sharing of Information
I do not sell, rent, trade, or voluntarily share personal information.
Information may be processed by service providers that are necessary to operate the site, such as:
- the website host
- email delivery providers, currently Postmark
- WordPress plugins used to operate the site
- spam, security, or abuse-prevention tools
These services are used only to run the site, deliver requested emails, protect the site, or provide functionality requested by visitors.
Information may also be disclosed if required by law, court order, legal process, or to protect the security and integrity of the site.
Cross-Border Processing
The site is operated from Canada but hosted in the United States. Some service providers may also process information in the United States or other jurisdictions.
Canadian privacy guidance allows personal information to be processed outside Canada, but requires transparency and appropriate safeguards. Information processed outside Canada may be accessible to courts, law enforcement, or national security authorities in that jurisdiction.
How Long Information Is Kept
Email subscription records are kept until you unsubscribe or ask for deletion, unless retention is required for security, legal, or administrative reasons.
Comments and comment metadata may be kept indefinitely to preserve discussion threads, moderation history, and spam-prevention records.
Server logs and security records are kept for a limited period as determined by the host or site configuration, unless needed longer for security, troubleshooting, or legal reasons.
Aggregate analytics data may be kept for long-term traffic analysis, but it is not intended to identify individual visitors.
Your Choices and Rights
You may contact me to ask:
- whether I have personal information about you
- for a copy of personal information you provided
- to correct inaccurate information
- to unsubscribe from email updates
- to delete your subscription information
- to delete or anonymize comments where practical
Some information may need to be retained where required for security, legal, administrative, or integrity reasons. For example, deleting a comment may not always remove every related moderation or security record.
Security
I use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect information handled by the site. No website or email system can be guaranteed completely secure, but the intent is to collect little, keep it only as needed, and avoid unnecessary sharing.
This site may log IP addresses and related technical information for failed login attempts or other suspicious activity in order to protect the site from abuse.
Children
This site is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact me and I will take reasonable steps to remove it.
Changes to This Policy
This policy may be updated from time to time if the site’s plugins, hosting, email tools, analytics, or privacy practices change. The “Last updated” date will be revised when changes are made.
