Comments
When you leave a comment on our site, we collect the information you’ve entered into the comment form, along with your IP address and browser user agent, to assist in spam detection. Should you use the Gravatar service, a hash of your email address might be sent to them to verify its usage. You can read more about Gravatar’s privacy practices [here](https://automattic.com/privacy/). Once we approve your comment, your profile image will be publicly displayed alongside your comment.
Media
We encourage users to be mindful when uploading images to our platform. To protect your privacy, avoid uploading images that carry embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Remember, visitors can access and extract location data from any website images.
Cookies
Choose to leave a comment, and you’ll have the option to save your name, email, and website in cookies. This feature simplifies your experience, preventing the need to re-enter details with each comment. These cookies remain for a year.
Drop by our login page, and we’ll use a temporary cookie to check your browser’s cookie compatibility. This cookie, void of personal data, is deleted once you close your browser. Upon login, we’ll set cookies to remember your login details and display preferences, which last two days and a year. Opt for “Remember Me,” and your login stays for two weeks, but logging out will remove them. If you engage in post-editing, a cookie, recording only the post ID, saves in your browser and expires after a day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Our posts might contain embedded content, such as videos, images, and articles. Interacting with this content is akin to visiting the source website, which might collect your data, use cookies, or embed third-party tracking tools. They might also track interactions, especially if you’re logged into an account on their platform.
Data Sharing
Password reset requests will share your IP address in the corresponding email.
Data Retention
Comments, along with their metadata, remain indefinitely, allowing us to recognize and approve subsequent comments instantly. Registered users have their provided personal data stored in their profile. While users can view, modify or erase their personal information at their leisure, they can’t alter their usernames. However, website administrators can view and edit this data.
Your Data Rights
If you’ve registered on our site or left comments, you can request an exported file of the data we hold about you. You can also ask for the erasure of your data, excluding data we’re mandated to retain for legal, administrative, or security reasons.
Where We Send Your Data
Expect automated spam detection services to scrutinize visitor comments.
Analytics and Advertising
We utilize StatCounter for analytical purposes, storing data for two weeks before its deletion. For advertising, we partner with Shareaholic. As a third party, they collect data essential for security and monetization. Please be aware of their data collection practices and understand that our collaboration is pivotal to maintaining our site’s financial health.
