Who we are/what personal data we collect and why we collect it
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:
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.
Contact forms/Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your
name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your
convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again
when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one
year. If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will
set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts
cookies. This cookie contains no 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 your screen
display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen
options cookies last for a year. If you select "Remember Me", your
login will persist for two weeks. If 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 includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID
of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos,
images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites
behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the
other website. These websites may collect data about you, use
cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your
interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your
interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and
are logged in to that website.
Analytics/ Who we share your data with/ 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 approve any
follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a
moderation queue. For users that register on our website (if any),
we also store the personal information they provide in their user
profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal
information at any time (except they cannot change their
username). Website administrators can also see and edit that
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 any data we are obliged to keep for
administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam
detection service.
