What Personal Data is Collected and Why
Comments
When you leave comments on the site the data collected is shown in the comments form, also your network IP address and browser user agent string to help with 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 may be used and may be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data such as EXIF or GPS. Other visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies
If you leave a comment on the site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website address 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 register an account and you log in to this site, a temporary cookie will be set 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, several cookies will be set to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen option 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 post, 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
Article postings on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behave in the exact same way as if you have 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.
How Long Your Data is Retained
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is to recognize and allow the approval of any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
When you register on the website the personal information you provide in your profile is saved. You can edit or delete your personal information at any time (except you cannot change your username). The site administrator can also see and edit that information if required.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data

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
Any comments you submit may be verified through an external automated 3rd party spam detection service.
Your information will not be sold, rented, or leased to a 3rd party.
