Personal Data I Collect and Why

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: https://automattic.com/privacy/. 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.

Cookies

When you leave a comment, you can choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience; these last one year.

Visiting the login page sets a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. Login cookies store your credentials for two days (or two weeks if “Remember Me” is selected), and screen preferences cookies last one year. Logging out removes login cookies.

Editing or publishing a post saves a temporary cookie (post ID only) that expires after one day.

Embedded Content

Articles on this site may include embedded content such as videos, images, or articles from other websites. Interacting with this content may allow those websites to collect data about you, use cookies, and track your activity, just as if you visited their site directly.

Who Your Data Is Shared With

When you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email for security purposes.

Data Retention

Comments and their metadata are kept indefinitely to help recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.

If you register on the site, your personal information is stored in your user profile. You can view, edit, or delete your information at any time (except your username). Website administrators can also access and manage this information.

Your Data Rights

If you have an account or have left comments, you can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. You can also ask us to delete your personal data, except for any information we are required to keep for legal, administrative, or security reasons.

Where Your Data Goes

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
