What personal data we collect and why we collect it

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 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 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) included. 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

How long we retain your data

If you lea­ve a com­ment, the com­ment and its meta­da­ta are retai­ned inde­fi­ni­te­ly. This is so we can reco­gni­ze 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 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 we send your data

Visi­tor comm­ents may be che­cked through an auto­ma­ted spam detec­tion service.
