Who I am

I’m Kasper Kamperman and this website (www.kasperkamperman.com) is my personal portfolio and blog. I share mostly my projects and give insight in “how stuff works” in my codelog. I’m available for freelance work.

What personal data do I collect and why do I collect it

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address, user agent (browser), referrer and site url (along with other information directly provided by the commenter such as their name, username, email address, and the comment itself). This data is used in to help spam detection. Read the Akismet privacy policy how they proces your data.

The information we collect depends on how the User sets up Akismet for the Site, but typically includes the commenter’s IP address, user agent, referrer, and Site URL

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.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Contact forms

You can leave a message to me in the contact form on the contact page. This message is e-mailed to me and will be stored in my mailbox. I won’t use your email address for other purposes than answering your question, request.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). 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 tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

In the sidebar tweets are embedded from Twitter. If you click a video Twitter will give you a notification that you agree with the use of cookies by Twitter.

I embed YouTube videos with Privacy Enhanced Mode (from the support page):

Privacy Enhanced Mode allows you to embed YouTube videos without using cookies to track viewing behavior. This means viewing activity isn’t collected to personalize the viewing experience. Instead, video recommendations are contextual and related to the currently played video. Videos playing in a Privacy Enhanced Mode embedded player won’t influence the viewer’s browsing experience on YouTube.

I embed Vimeo videos as well. Their cookie policy

Vimeo’s embeddable video player uses first-party cookies that we consider essential to the video player experience. We do not use third-party analytics or advertising cookies when our video player appears on a third-party website.

The cookie placed by the vimeo embedded player is:

  • vuid: expires in 24 months.

Analytics

I use Google Analytics software to collect information about how you use this website. I do this to help make sure the site is meeting the needs of its users and to help me make improvements, for example improving site search.

The following 1st party cookies are set:

  • _ga: expires in 24 months.
  • _ gid: expires in 2 days.
  • _gat: expires in 1 day.

Google Analytics stores information about:

  • the pages you visit on this website
  • how long you spend on each page
  • how you got to the site
  • what you click on while you’re visiting the site

I don’t collect or store your personal information (for example your name or address) so this information can’t be used to identify who you are. Google Analytics has been extended by the code “gat._anonymizeIp ();” to ensure the anonymised collection of IP addresses (so-called “IP masking”).

We don’t allow Google to use or share our analytics data.

Google gives you the option of opting out for analytics tracking at all by installing a browser plugin.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

What rights you have over your data

If you 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.
