Terms & Conditions

Anyone in the world can read this website, without worrying about these Terms and Conditions.

Anyone in the world, who would like to browse through and read poems, short stories and extracts from my books, are welcome here.

I welcome comment and criticism. You are invited to write comments and/or reply to other peoples comments as long as your words meet the rules stated below.

This website contains free poems and free short stories all of which are the copyright of Kevin Mahoney. You may read them, print them, even download them, but you are not allowed to sell them or republish them without the author’s consent.

All authors of comments and replies are accountable for their own text.

All Comments and Replies will be held, awaiting approval. If they keep to the following rules then the comment or reply will be approved, otherwise they may be deleted or edited.

Oldkev’s Rules for this Website

NO CONTENT will be allowed on this site if it contains any of the following.

  • Calls to violence, or suggesting that violence is a solution, or even part of a solution are NOT ALLOWED
  • NO EXTREMISM – not even on the left wing, and certainly no right wing thoughts, words, or actions (oldkev wants radical change but does not tolerate extreme actions or words. For radical change read “Earth for All” by the Club of Rome, or vote for young people who want to lead a democracy that looks after its own people and plays a responsible role in world affairs -look at the European party Volt for example).
  • Any form of HATE or RACISM – is NOT ALLOWED.
  • Mentioning any god or religion – is NOT ALLOWED. You can be a religious person, with any belief, that’s fine, but indoctrination, at any level, is not allowed.
  • No sexual or pornographic content is allowed.
  • Mobbing and Abuse, of any kind, is NOT allowed.
  • Misogyny, sexism and similar, of any kind, is NOT allowed.
  • No indoctrination of any kind (religious, political,marketing etc.).
  • NO LINKS to any website.
  • I know! Sometimes it makes you want to swear – you can do that now and again but if it is too much then Oldkev will ask you to change it before approval – and it must not be too explicit.
  • Finally – be careful of writing libel – Oldkev will not be accountable for any libelous text in your comments and replies – only you are accountable for what you write.

Who am I?

Website address is: https://www.writernotafighter.com.

Site Owner, Administrator and Author: Kevin Mahoney based in 82178 Puchheim, Germany.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect only their name (or alias) and, optionally, their email address. If you enter your email address it is safely kept under lock and key on the website's database and only I can see it when I approve the comment. The approval process is only to prevent hate, fake information and bots etc (see terms and conditions here).

. I will never pass your email address on to any other party - not for love nor money.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) is provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using Gravatar. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here. After approval of your comment, your profile picture, if you have one on Gravatar, is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Visitors may also choose to get notifications when people add more comments to the post that they themselves have commented and/or to any replies to their own comments. In this case you must enter your email address to get those notifications. The privacy and security is, in this case, identical to that explained above for visitors that choose to enter their email address when writing a comment.

In addition, visitors may wish to receive one email each month containing links to new posts that have been added in the previous month. In this case, because we have to follow spamming laws, your email address is stored in the very secure and private database of our email marketing provider, Brevo. Once again I can see those mail addresses as can Brevo Administrators. Brevo is a very reputable mail marketing company that follows all European and American privacy laws.

Visitor comments are checked through an automated spam detection service named Akismet Spam Protection.

How long we retain your data & Unsubscribing

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. However, if you sign up to be notified for other comments and replies to your comments then you can unsubscribe on the comment form. Just put your cursor over each icon on the form and you will see a tip telling you to unsubscribe by clicking that icon.

For users that subscribe to our once a month email (showing posts that were added in the previous month), we store just your name (or nickname/alias) and your email address in our protected mail provider's database (Brevo) - that information remains in the safe and secure custody of Brevo until the user unsubscribes at which point both name and email are deleted. The website owner/administrator (Kevin Mahoney - author of the posts and writings) can also see that information.

if you have subscribed to receive notifications of new posts then each email that you receive from writernotafighter will contain an unsubscribe link.

Media

No users are able to logon to this website and are thus unable to upload any form of media.

Cookies

My website & blog does not use cookies.

However, in order to include certain automated functionality, for exsample the additional functionality in comments, the attractive image & text grid of all posts and the notifications of new posts, I must use external, third party software plugins. I only use plugins from world wide, renowned and reputable software providers that serve many thousands of websites. In otherwords secure and stable software. I am an ex.professional software developer, now retired.

To my knowledge, if they use cookies, then it is purely to serve the expected functionality and not to capture information or to bother you with adverts etc.
