Who we are
https://www.annotated-saki.info is run by Bruce Gaston.
Copyright information
To the best of my knowledge (though I’m not a lawyer) the writings of Hector Hugh Munro (‘Saki’) are all out of copyright, as Munro died over 100 years ago.
All other quotations from texts are done under ‘fair use’ principles, which for example allow for citing extracts from academic works. In all cases, effort has been made to attribute these clearly and unmistakably.
On the other hand, all annotations to Saki’s stories published here are my own work and protected under copyright law. They may not be copied or otherwise reproduced without my explicit permission.
Privacy information
What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Comments
Comments are currently disabled on this site.
[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 anonymised 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.]
Contact forms
You can use a contact form on the website to get directly in touch with us or to subscribe to an automatic service that notifies you whenever a new post appears. In such cases, your e-mail address is only used for the single purpose you provided it for (a direct reply or automatic notification).
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.] Comments are currently disabled on this site.
Some plugins (e.g. the Jetpack plugin – see below) also use cookies.
Referrals
Links to the Amazon webpages for particular books mentioned in blog articles are affiliate links. That means that if you click on such a link, you are tagged with a special cookie to track the referral. If you end up buying the product, then Amazon pays me a referral fee. (I have yet to make a single penny this way.)
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.
Analytics
WordPress’s Jetpack plugin collects general information on site visitors (country, pages visited, links the click on, etc.) More information can be found here.
Who we share your data with

How long we retain your data
Theoretically, for ever, as you presumably want to hear about all future posts. All users can see, edit, or delete their 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
Nowhere.
