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 with spam detection.

An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

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

Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies last for one year.

If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will be set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

Upon logging in, several cookies will be set to save your login details and screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, while screen options cookies last for a year. Selecting “Remember Me” will keep your login active for two weeks. Logging out will remove these cookies.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if the visitor has accessed the other website directly.

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

Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely to enable automatic approval of follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For registered users (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Website administrators can also view and edit this 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, except for data we are legally required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
