Comments
When visitors leave comments, we collect the data provided in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent to help with spam detection. An anonymized string (hash) of your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you use it. After comment approval, your profile picture is visible with your comment. See Gravatar’s privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
Media
If you upload images, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors can extract this information from images.
Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. These last for one year. Temporary cookies are set when visiting the login page to check if your browser accepts cookies. Login and screen preference cookies last from two days to one year. Editing or publishing an article may store a cookie containing the post ID, expiring after one day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (videos, images, articles, etc.), which behave as if you visited the external site. These sites may collect data, use cookies, and track interactions if you have an account with them.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
Data retention
Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely for automated approval. Registered users (if any) can see, edit, or delete their personal information, except for their username. Website administrators can also access and modify this data.
Your data rights
If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of your personal data. You can also request data deletion, excluding data we must retain for legal or security reasons.
