Use of Collected Personal Data

Comments

When you leave a comment on our site, the data entered in the comment form, as well as your IP address and the user agent of your browser, are collected to help us detect inappropriate comments.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service's privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible next to your comment.

Media

If you are a registered user and upload images to the site, we recommend avoiding uploading images that contain GPS EXIF data. Visitors to your website can download and extract location data from these images.

Contact Forms

Cookies

When you leave a comment on our site, you may opt to save 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 leaving another comment. These cookies will expire after one year.

If you visit the login page, a temporary cookie will be created to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is automatically deleted when you close your browser.

When you log in, we set up several cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen option cookies last for one year. If you select "Remember Me," your login cookie will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookie will be removed.

When you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data; it simply indicates the ID of the article you just edited and expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor had 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 if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Use and Transmission of Your Personal Data

Data Retention Periods

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.

For users who register on our site (if applicable), we also store the personal information provided in their profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Website administrators can also view and edit that information.

Your Data Rights

If you have an account or have left comments on the site, you can request to receive a file containing all personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us.

You may also request the deletion of your personal data. This does not include any data retained for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Transmission of Your Personal Data

The processing of your data is based on your explicit and specific consent (this consent will be obtained through a checkbox or any other relevant affirmative action from you).

Your data may be used for commercial research purposes (via email, phone, etc.). However, email marketing will not require your consent if you are already one of our customers and the emails we send relate to products or services similar to those we have provided to you.

Your use of data transmitted by certain types of cookies (particularly cookies related to targeted advertising activities) will be based on your preferences.
