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, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist in spam detection.

An anonymized string generated from your email address (a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy can be found at: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media
If you upload images to the website, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS) in the files. Visitors to the site can download and extract location data from images published on the website.

Contact Forms
Information submitted through our contact form is kept private and confidential. It will never be shared with third parties and is securely stored on our email server.
