What personal data is collected and why

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, the data present in the comments form, as well as the IP address and browser user agent, are saved to help spam detection.

An anonymous string created from your email address (also called a hash) can be sent to the Gravatar service to verify that you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Multimedia

When uploading images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded geolocation data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract geolocation data from website images.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (eg videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if the user were to visit those websites.

This site may collect data about you, use cookies, incorporate third-party tracking, and monitor your interactions with it, including recording interactions with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that site.

How long your data is retained

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are saved indefinitely. This is so that any follow-up comments can be automatically recognized and approved, instead of putting them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website (if any), we store the personal information provided in your user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (with the exception of not being able to change their username). Site administrators can also view and edit this information.

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an export file of the personal data held about you, including any personal data you have provided. You can also request that saved data be deleted. This does not include any personal data that you are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
