What information we collect and why we collect it

A. Comments

When you leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with your IP address and browser user agent string. We do this to help detect and prevent spam.

An anonymized string (also called a hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. You can review the Gravatar service privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.

B. Media

If you upload images to our website, please avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images publicly available on the site.

C. Cookies

Our website uses cookies to enhance your experience. Cookies are small data files stored on your device.

Comment Cookies: If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to save your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience, so you don’t have to re-enter your details for future comments. These cookies last for one year.
Temporary Cookies for Login Page: When you visit our login page, we 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.
Login and Screen Option Cookies: When you log in, we 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 one 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.
Article Editing Cookies: If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.

D. Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you, the visitor, have visited the other website directly.

These external websites may:

Collect data about you.
Use cookies.
Embed additional third-party tracking.
Monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

E. Analytics

We use third-party analytics services, such as Google Analytics, to understand how visitors interact with our website. These services may collect information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs and actions taken on our site. This data is anonymized and used to improve our website’s functionality and content.

How we share your data

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to outside parties except as described below:

Password Resets: If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
Automated Spam Detection: Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court order or government agency).
Service Providers: We may share your data with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business or providing services to you, provided that these parties agree to keep this information confidential.

How long we retain your data

Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically, rather than holding them in a moderation queue.
Registered Users: For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All registered 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.
Other Data: Data collected for purposes such as analytics is retained for a period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Your rights over your data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you have the following rights regarding your data:

Right to Access: You can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us.
Right to Rectification: You can request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete data we hold about you.
Right to Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”): You can 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.
