Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site the data shown in the comments form is collected, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

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

Analytics

Who your data is shared with

Your personal data is never sold, rented or leased to any third party. Your personal data may be shared with the site’s hosting, maintenance, data analysis, infrastructure provision and others who help the site’s operation.

How long your data is retained

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so the site can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on the site (if any), the personal information they provide is also stored in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). The site’s administrator can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on the site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data held about you, including any data you have provided to the site. You can also request that the site erase any personal data held about you. This does not include any data the site is 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. Third parties may have access to your personal data as noted herein.
