What data we collect and how we use it

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form (e.g. name, email address, comment), plus the visitor’s IP address and browser user-agent string. This helps with spam detection and site security.
If you provide an email, an anonymized string (“hash”) derived from your email may be provided to the service Gravatar to check whether you are using it. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy is available at their site.
Once a comment is approved, your profile picture (if provided by Gravatar) becomes visible publicly alongside your comment.

Media (Uploaded Images)

If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS metadata). Visitors to the site may download those images and extract embedded metadata, including location.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

If you leave a comment on the site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so you don’t need to re-enter those details when leaving another comment. These cookies last one year.
On the login page, we set a temporary cookie to verify that your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is removed when you close your browser.
If you log in, the site will set several cookies: login cookies (persist for two days), “screen options” cookies (persist for one year), and — if you select “Remember Me” — a persistent login cookie (persists for two weeks). If you log out, the persistent login cookie is removed.
If you edit or publish an article, a cookie storing the edited post’s ID is set; it contains no personal data and expires after one day.
Embedded content from other websites (e.g. videos, images, articles) behaves as though you visited those external websites. Those sites may collect data about you, set cookies, embed additional tracking, or monitor your interactions with that embedded content.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Some articles on our site may include embedded content — for example: videos, images, or articles hosted on external websites.
Interacting with embedded content is equivalent to visiting those external sites directly. External websites may collect information about you, use cookies or other tracking technologies, and record your interactions if you have an account or are logged in on those third-party sites.

Sharing Your Data / Who We Share It With

If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email — to the extent required by system / hosting-service configuration.
We do not sell your personal data or share it with third-parties for marketing, unless required by law or with your explicit consent.

Data Retention / How Long We Keep Your Data

Comments and related metadata (including IP address, user-agent, and the comment content) are retained indefinitely. This makes it possible to identify and approve any follow-up comments without re-moderation.
If you register on the website (if registration is enabled now or in the future), the personal information you provide in your user profile will also be stored. You — as a user — may view, edit, or request deletion of your personal data at any time (except username, which is fixed). Website administrators have the ability to view and manage profile data when needed.

Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account on this website, or have previously left comments, you have the right to request a copy of all personal data we hold about you (export your data).
You also have the right to request us to erase any of your personal data that we hold, subject to any data we are legally or technically required to retain (for security, record-keeping, etc.).

Where Your Data Is Sent / Spam Protection & Automated Checks

Visitor comments may be automatically checked by a spam-detection service. This may involve sending some data (such as IP address or user-agent) to that third-party service for evaluation.
Embedded third-party services (e.g. external video hosts) may receive data if you interact with embedded content, depending on their own privacy policies.

Policy Updates

We may update this privacy policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices or in legal requirements. We will post the updated policy on this page and update the “Last updated” date accordingly.
