Information Collection

  1. Comments: When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comment form, the visitor’s IP address, and browser user agent string to help spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service. After your comment’s approval, your profile picture becomes visible to the public in the context of your comment.
  2. Media: If you upload images, you should refrain from uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) as visitors can extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

  • If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience. These last for one year.
  • If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie determines if your browser accepts cookies, discarded upon closing the browser.
  • Upon login, we set cookies to save your login info and screen display choices. If you choose “Remember Me”, your login persists for two weeks. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. Editing or publishing an article saves an additional cookie in your browser, indicating the post ID of the article you edited, which expires after 1 day.

Embedded Content

Articles might include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Such content from other websites behaves as if the visitor has visited the hosting website. They might collect data, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor interaction with the embedded content, especially if you’re logged into that website.

Data Sharing & Retention

  • If you request a password reset, the reset email includes your IP address.
  • Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely for recognizing and approving follow-up comments.
  • For registered users, we store personal information in user profiles. Users can see, edit, or delete their information at any time (except they cannot change usernames). Website administrators also access this data.

Your Data Rights

If you have an account or left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we have, including data you’ve provided. You can request erasure of personal data unless we need to retain it for legal, administrative, or security purposes.

Data Safety

Visitor comments may undergo checks through automated spam detection services.

Security Measures

We have implemented security measures to protect against data loss, misuse, and unauthorized access. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute safety.
