What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It

Comments
When visitors leave comments on our 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 see 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 is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

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

Contact Forms
We do not share data from contact forms with anyone not directly involved in providing services related to your account.

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 you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just 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 in the same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to the website.

Analytics
We may use analytics tools to understand how visitors interact with the website. This data is anonymized and used to improve the user experience.

Who We Share Your Data With

We do not share your data with any third-party companies unless required for legal, security, or operational purposes.

How long we retain your data

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

For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except their username). Website administrators can also view 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, including any data you have provided. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obligated to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where We Send Your Data

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

Your Contact Information

We do not share your contact information with anyone not directly involved in providing services to you. This may include analytics services and internal employees or contractors.

How We Protect Your Data
We use industry-standard security measures, including firewalls and encrypted passwords, to protect your data. In the normal course of business, we are unlikely to store passwords on our systems, and once used for a designated purpose, we remove them from our records.

What Data Breach Procedures We Have in Place
In the event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you promptly once the issue is identified and steps have been taken to contain it.
