COMMENTS

When you leave a comment on our website, we collect the data you provide in the comments form, as well as your IP address and browser user agent string to help us with spam detection.   An anonymized string created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to help us check if you have a Gravatar account. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/.

MEDIA

If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

COOKIES

Our website uses cookies to save your name, email address, and website information when you leave a comment. This is so you don’t have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment.   We also use temporary cookies on the login page to store your login details. These cookies are deleted when you close your browser.   In addition, we use cookies to store your screen options preferences. These cookies are also deleted when you close your browser.   We also use an additional cookie for article editing to store your article editing preferences. This cookie is deleted when you close your browser.

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 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.

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 its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments you leave instead of holding them for moderation.   For registered users, we also store personal information they provide in their user profile. Users can always 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 YOUR DATA IS SENT

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