Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent, which help with spam detection.

An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service. The Gravatar privacy policy can be found here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes visible to the public in context with your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract location data from images on the site.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles may contain embedded content (videos, images, etc.) that behaves as though the visitor accessed the other website directly. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional tracking, and monitor your interaction with embedded content, especially if you have an account with those websites and are logged in.

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 metadata are retained indefinitely to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically. For registered users, personal information is stored in the user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal data at any time (except for their username). Administrators can also view and edit this information.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold, including the data you have provided. You may also request erasure of any personal data, except for data we are legally obligated to retain.

Where Your Data Is Sent

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