London Nature Day by Day (“we”, “us”) publishes a daily nature diary for London at www.londonnaturedaybyday.com and on our YouTube channel, London Nature Day by Day. We are based in London, United Kingdom. For anything about this policy or your personal data, email tom@londonnaturedaybyday.com.
You can read the whole site without an account, and the site has no forms, so we do not ask you for your name, email address or any other details.
Like almost every website, our servers record each request they receive: your IP address, the page asked for, the date and time, and the browser’s description of itself (its “user agent”). We use these records only to keep the site running and secure (for example, to spot and block abuse) and keep them only for as long as that needs. We do not use them to build a profile of you, and we do not sell or share them, except with the companies that host the site for us (in the United Kingdom and Microsoft Azure), who process them on our behalf, or where the law requires it.
If you email us, we use your email address and message only to reply to you.
Our own pages do not set cookies for visitors. Some pages, however, include content and buttons from other companies, and when your browser loads them those companies may set their own cookies and receive information such as your IP address and the page you are on:
We do not control these companies’ cookies. You can block or delete them in your browser’s settings; the site still works without them, though the videos and buttons may not.
We publish our own daily videos to our own YouTube channel, London Nature Day by Day, with a small private tool of ours (the Google app “LondonNatureDayByDay”) that uses the YouTube API Services. Only one Google account ever signs in to it: the account that owns our channel. It is not offered to the public, and it never asks visitors to this site or any other YouTube user to sign in.
What it asks Google for, and why
youtube.upload - to upload each day’s video to our
channel, scheduled to go public on its day.youtube.force-ssl - to set the video’s thumbnail, add it
to the channel’s playlist, and read the list of the channel’s own
videos, so that the same video is never uploaded twice.What it receives and keeps
It does not access, collect or store any information about visitors to this site or about any other YouTube user: no names, email addresses, comments, subscribers or viewing data.
Sharing: we do not sell, share or transfer any data received from Google APIs to anyone, and we do not use it for advertising or to train artificial intelligence or machine learning models.
London Nature Day by Day’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Withdrawing access and deletion: the channel’s owner can withdraw the app’s access at any time at Google’s security settings page; we then delete the stored tokens. To ask us to delete anything else we hold, email tom@londonnaturedaybyday.com.
By watching our videos you are also using YouTube, under the YouTube Terms of Service; Google handles that information under the Google Privacy Policy.
Under UK data protection law (the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018), we keep server records on the basis of our legitimate interest in running a secure website, and we handle emails you send us so that we can answer them.
You have the right to ask for a copy of the personal data we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, to object to or restrict how we use it, and to complain. Email us first and we will do our best to help. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
The site is suitable for all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
If we change this policy we will publish the new version here, with its date at the top.
