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.

Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you visited those sites directly.

These external websites may collect your data, use cookies, implement third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with embedded content, including tracking your interactions if you have an account and are logged in to those websites.

How Long We Retain Your Data

What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account or have left comments on the site, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you’ve provided. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold, except for data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
