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, the visitor’s IP address, and the browser user agent string to assist in spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also known as a hash) might be provided to the Gravatar service for identification purposes. After your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes publicly visible within the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, it's advised to avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included as visitors can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

When you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to have your name, email address, and website saved in cookies. This is for your convenience to save you from re-entering your details when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

When you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to verify if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie holds no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

Once you log in, we set several cookies to save your login information and 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. Upon logging 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, which includes no personal data, simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content from other websites, such as videos, images, articles, etc. This embedded content behaves in 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, especially if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

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.
