Who We Are
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect
the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam
detection.
An anonymised 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.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading
images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data
from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site,
you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that
you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This
cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices.
Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login
will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional
cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the
article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded content from other websites
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 visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed
additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your
interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will
be included in the reset email.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained
indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them
in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the
personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal
information at any time (except that they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and
edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can
request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to
us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are
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.
