Who We Are
We are https://kriskristoffersonfan.com, a WordPress fan site based in the UK. You can contact us via email admin.kriskrisoffersonfan.com
What personal data we collect and why we collect it
We collect personal data when required, to keep our website working and to allow us to interact with visitors and provide enough statistical data to manage our website. We do partner with affiliate sites and other 3rd parties to fund the site, and to access needed plugins or technical tools. We sometimes partner with others for other ad hoc reasons when needed. We make every effort to limit this information to the minimum. We collect your name on nickname and email address if you subscribe to our newsletter or for sites updates. When you interact on the site, you might do so through one of your social media accounts. You control what ourselves and others can see in those cases.
We link to 3rd party sites. If you buy or interact with these, they are responsible for their sites which are beyond our control and we can not be responsible for their content. We do choose sites that we regard as reputable, but this is a part-time blog and security is everyone’s job. When you use this site, you accept that this site is provided “as is.”
The site receives some personal data through cookies. We provide information on how yoy can control cookies when browsing this site. Much applies to general browsing, too.
We don’t collect or retention of sensitive personal data, such as data concerning health unless it is posted by the visitor – In a comment, for example. Such information is provided at the visitor’s discretion and not requested by us.
We are a blog. We aim to unite, inform and engage with Kris Kristofferson fans and share items of interest. We mention names and profiles as provided for comments, conversation and for crediting media to it the owner as required. Pictures and video clips are attributed as required by law or courtesy.
Personal data is sometimes provided or generated through technical processes such as contact forms, comments, cookies, analytics, and third-party embeds. Site users provide this information themselves and we use it only for the reasons it was given, and for statistical or tracking purposes to keep the site running. We endeavour to fund the sites through adverts and affiliates in order to keep it running.
By default, WordPress does not collect any personal data about visitors, and only collects the data shown on the User Profile screen from registered users. Some plugins that the site uses may collect personal data. We update the lists of software that might do this as we update the site and we aim to do this in a timely manner. At this time, the site does not engage in any direct selling.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

We never share or sell email addresses provided to us for other reasons. We use a hosting service and rely on other support companies that might be based in different countries.
