What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data
shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address
and browser user agent string to help 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 ]. 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, you should avoid
uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS)
included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any
location data from images on the website.
Contact Forms
We collect personal data through contact forms to respond to
your inquiries and provide support.
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 that you do not have to fill in your details
again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last
for one year.
If you visit our login page, 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 your screen display choices. 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 1 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 exact same way as if the visitor has
visited the other website.
Analytics
We use analytics tools to collect data on user interactions to
improve our services.
Who We Share Your Data With
We do not share your personal data with third parties except as
necessary to fulfill your requests and as required by law.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are
retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve
any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in
a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store
the personal information they provide in their user profile. All
users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any
time (except they cannot change their username). Website
administrators can also see 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 to receive an exported file of the personal data we
hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You
can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about
you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for
administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where We Send Your Data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam
detection service.
