Commentary
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data displayed in the comment form and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) can be delivered to the Gravatar service to see if you use it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in connection with your comment.
Media outlets
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Website visitors can download and extract all location data from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you can opt-in to store your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience, so you don’t have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we 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 also set several cookies to store your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days and screen settings cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember me”, your login will last for two weeks. If you log out of your account, login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is stored in your browser. This cookie contains 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 website may contain embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in exactly the same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content 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 will be included in the reset email.
How long we store your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are preserved indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit or delete their personal information at any time (except that they cannot change their username). Site administrators can also view and edit this information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this website or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file with the personal data we have about you, including any data you have given us. You can also request that we delete any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are required to retain for administrative, legal or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments can be checked through an automatic spam detection service.
