Privacy Policy
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data displayed in the comments form, as well as the visitors' IP addresses and user agent string to help detect spam.
An anonymous 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 privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media Files
If you upload images to your site, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Site visitors can download and extract any location data from images on your site.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you can enable the saving of your name, email address and website in cookies. This is for your convenience, so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave your next comment. These cookies will be stored for 1 year.
If you have an account on the site and you log in, we will set a temporary cookie to determine whether your browser supports cookies, the cookie does not contain any personal information and is deleted when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set several cookies to save information about your login and screen settings. Login cookies are stored for 2 days, and screen settings cookies are stored for 1 year. If you select “Remember me”, your login will be stored for 2 weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be deleted.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie does not contain any personal data and simply indicates the ID of the article you just edited. It expires in 1 day.
How long do we keep your data?
If you leave a comment, it and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This allows us to automatically identify and approve each subsequent comment instead of keeping them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our site (if any), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except that they cannot change their username). Site administrators can also view and edit this information.
What rights do you have regarding 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 that we are required to retain for administrative, legal or security purposes.
