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 assist with spam detection.

An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if available) will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media:

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

Cookies:

If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so you don’t need to re-enter your details for future comments. These cookies last for one year.

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

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content behaves as if you visited the external website directly. These sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content. This includes tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This helps us automatically approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them for moderation.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you, with the exception of any data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where We Send Your Data

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

Security of Your Data

We take reasonable steps to protect your data, but no online service is completely secure. We recommend taking precautions, such as limiting personal information shared in public comments.
