What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It
1. Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymized string (also called a hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. After approval of your comment, your profile picture may be visible to the public.
2. Media
If you upload images to the website, avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images.
3. Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for convenience so that you don’t have to fill in your details again for future comments. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will be set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
4. Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, track your interaction, and monitor your engagement with the embedded content.
Who We Share Your Data With
We do not sell, trade, or share your personal data with third parties unless required by law or necessary for improving website functionality (e.g., analytics, spam detection).
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This helps us recognize and approve follow-up comments without moderation.
For users that register on our website (if applicable), we store personal information they provide in their user profile. Website administrators can 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 an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you, except for data we must keep for legal, security, or administrative purposes.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service to ensure security and prevent abuse.
