What personal data we collect and why we collect it

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 created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine 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 will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images on the site.

Contact forms

If you submit a contact form, we collect the data entered in the form fields, such as your name, email address, and message, to respond to your inquiry. The data may be retained for a period to address follow-up inquiries but is not used for marketing purposes unless explicitly stated.

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 you do not have to fill in your details again when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.

If you have an account and log in to this site, we will set temporary cookies to check if your browser accepts cookies. These cookies do not contain personal data and are discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we set up several cookies to save your login information and screen display choices. Login cookies last two days, while screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out will remove the login cookies.

If you edit or publish an article, a cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and indicates the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.

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 the same as if the visitor had visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that content, including tracking interactions if you are logged into their website.

Analytics

We use analytics tools to track user behavior on our site. These tools collect data such as IP addresses, browser types, and user interactions to improve our website and services.

Who we share your data with

We do not share your data with third parties unless it is required for fulfilling services (e.g., hosting providers, payment processors) or for legal compliance.

How long we retain your data

Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely to automatically approve follow-up comments instead of holding them for moderation.

For registered users, we store personal information provided in their user profile indefinitely. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Website administrators can also view and edit this information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of your personal data. You may also request that we erase personal data we hold, except for data required for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
