Privacy

Your privacy

Short version: I collect as little as I can, I never sell anything, and there are no adverts or ad trackers here.

Who I am

Utopia Is Loading is a personal website written by Ben Rama, based in the UK. I’m responsible for the personal data described on this page.

What gets collected, and why

Comments. If you leave a comment, the site stores your name, email address, website (if you add one), the comment itself, your IP address and your browser’s user agent. That’s so I can moderate comments and stop spam. Your email address is never shown publicly. Comments are held for approval before they appear.

Comment cookies. If you tick the box to save your details, your browser keeps a cookie with your name, email and website so you don’t have to type them again. It lasts a year. If you don’t tick it, nothing is saved.

Security and hosting. The site is hosted by Hostinger, which keeps standard server logs (such as IP addresses and the pages requested) to run and protect the service. A security plugin, Wordfence, also checks visits to block attacks.

Email list. There isn’t one yet. When it opens, this page will say which service sends the emails and what it stores, and you’ll be able to unsubscribe from every email in one click.

Content from other sites

Some pages show photos hosted by Unsplash and charts embedded from Our World in Data. When your browser loads them, those sites can see your IP address, just as if you’d visited them directly. Their own privacy policies apply.

What I don’t do

No advertising, no ad tracking, no selling or sharing your data with anyone for marketing. Ever.

How long things are kept

Comments and their details are kept for as long as the comment is on the site. You can ask me to remove a comment, or any data I hold about you, at any time.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you can ask to see the data I hold about you, correct it, delete it, or object to how it’s used. Contact details will be on the Contact page as soon as the site’s email address is set up. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk).
