The personal data we collect and why:
Comments:
Data is collected when visitors leave a comment on this site. The content of the comment is saved with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to facilitate 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 your comment is approved, your profile picture and comment are visible to the public.
Cookies: (Not the tasty kind, I’m sorry.)
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to save your name, email address and website via cookies. This option is for your own convenience so you don’t need to fill in your personal details each time you comment. These cookies will last for one year.
Embedded content from other websites:
Articles on this site may include embedded content such as photos, videos, external articles, etc. Embedded content from other websites behave in the exact same way as if the visitor has viewed the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking and monitor your interactions with that embedded content. This includes tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that external website.
How long we retain your data:
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue. We also store the personal information provided in the user profile of those who subscribe to this site. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, with the exception of changing username. Website administrators can also view and edit this information.
