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 assist in spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at 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 our website, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract location data from these images.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. This convenience allows you to avoid re-entering your details for subsequent comments. These cookies last one year.
When visiting our login page, a temporary cookie is set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded upon closing your browser.
Upon logging in, several cookies save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last two days, and screen options cookies last one year. Selecting “Remember Me” extends login persistence to two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.
Editing or publishing an article adds an additional cookie that includes no personal data. This cookie simply indicates the post ID of the article and expires after one day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content such as videos and images. This embedded content behaves as if you visited the originating website. These websites may collect data, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, especially if you have an account and are logged into that website.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address is included in the reset email.
How long we retain your data
Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely to streamline follow-up comment approvals. For users registering on our website, personal information provided is stored in their user profiles. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for their username. Website administrators can also manage 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 the personal data we hold, including the data provided by you. You may also request data erasure, excluding data required for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
