When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comment form, the visitor’s IP address, and the browser user agent to help detect spam. An anonymized string, created from your email address (also called a hash), may be sent to the Gravatar service if you use it. You can find the privacy policy page of the Gravatar service here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture is publicly visible in the context of your comment.
Media
If you are a registered user and upload images to the site, you should avoid uploading images that contain EXIF GPS location data. Visitors to the site can download the images and view the location data.
Cookies
When you leave a comment on our site, you can choose to save your name, email address, and website in a cookie. This is for your convenience so that you don’t have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies are valid for one year. If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain any personal data and is discarded when you close your browser. When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and display options. Login cookies are valid for 2 days, and cookies for display options are valid for 1 year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will be saved for 2 weeks. When you log 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 does not contain any personal data and only stores the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded content from other websites?
Posts on this site may contain embedded content (such as videos, images, messages, etc.). Embedded content from other sites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited those other sites. These sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with this embedded content, including capturing your interaction with embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that site.
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?
When you leave a comment, the comment itself and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve 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 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 site or have left comments, you can request an export file of your personal data that 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 your data is sent?
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
