Collection of Personal Data and Its Use

Feedback and Comments

When visitors leave feedback or comments on our site, we collect the data entered in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This information helps us detect and filter out spam.

We may send a hashed version of your email address to the Gravatar service to determine if you use it. The privacy policy for Gravatar can be accessed here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public next to your comment.

Images

When uploading images to our site, please ensure that they do not include embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Other users can potentially download and extract this data from images on our site.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Some articles on this site may include embedded content, like videos, images, or articles. This content behaves the same way as if you had visited the external site directly.

Sharing Your Data

Data Retention

Comments and their associated metadata are stored indefinitely. This allows us to automatically approve any follow-up comments rather than holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profiles. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for changing their username). Site administrators can also view and edit that information.

Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account on our 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 to us. You can also ask us to erase any personal data we hold about you, with the exception of data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Data Transfers

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