Who We Are

What Personal Data We Collect and Why

Comments: When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to aid in spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to verify its use. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture may be visible in the context of your comment.

Media: If you upload images, avoid including location data (EXIF GPS) in those files, as visitors to the site can download and extract embedded location information from images.

Cookies: If you leave a comment, you can opt-in to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies last one year. Additionally, when you log in, temporary cookies are set to save login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last two days, screen options cookies last a year, and selecting “Remember Me” extends login persistence for two weeks. Logging out removes login cookies. When you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie with no personal data is saved, expiring after one day.

Embedded Content: Articles on our site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles), which functions the same as if you visited the other website. Embedded content from these websites may collect data, use cookies, or employ third-party tracking.

How Long We Retain Your Data
Comments and associated metadata are retained indefinitely to allow for the automatic approval of follow-up comments. Registered user data is stored in user profiles, with users able to view, edit, or delete personal information, except for usernames. Website administrators can also view and edit this information.

Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the data we hold, including personal information provided. You can also request data deletion, excluding information we retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
