Comments

When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser’s User-Agent string to help detect spam.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy can be found here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be publicly displayed next to your comment.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt to save your name, email address, and website address in cookies. This is for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when leaving another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

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

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other sites behaves in the same way as if you visited the other site directly.

These sites 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 with those sites and are logged into them.

Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the password reset email.

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 automatically approve any follow-up comments without needing to hold them in a moderation queue.

For registered users of this site, we also store the personal information provided in their profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username), and site 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 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 data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent

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