What Personal Data We Collect and Why
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comment form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.
An anonymized hash of your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. Their privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture (if applicable) is visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract location data from these images.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page (if applicable), a temporary cookie will be set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, additional cookies are set to save your login information and screen preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen option cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out will remove login cookies.
If you edit or publish a post, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. It contains no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the edited article. It expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves the same as if you visited those websites directly.
These sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that content, especially if you are logged into that third-party service.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset (if that functionality exists), your IP address will be included in the reset email for security purposes.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third parties.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This helps us recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.
For registered users (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profiles. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Website administrators can also see and edit this information.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on this website or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you’ve provided. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are required to retain for legal, administrative, or security purposes.
