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 with spam detection and ensure the security of the site. Additionally, an anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
Once your comment is approved, your profile picture, set through the Gravatar service, becomes visible to the public in the context of your comment. This process allows for a more personalized and engaging interaction for all users on the site. By using Gravatar, you can have a consistent online presence with the same profile picture across many different websites.
In summary, the collection of this information is essential to enhance user experience, prevent spam, and maintain a clean, user-friendly platform for everyone who engages with the community.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. This precaution is essential because visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website. By ensuring your images do not contain this sensitive information, you help protect your privacy and the security of others who may appear in the photos. Moreover, removing EXIF data can also reduce the file size of your images, leading to faster loading times and an improved user experience for visitors to your site. Always make sure to review and edit your photos before uploading them, using available tools to strip out any unwanted metadata, thus safeguarding personal details and maintaining your site’s performance.

Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content, such as videos, images, articles, and other media. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website directly. When you interact with these embedded contents, it is important to be aware that these external websites might engage in several activities involving your data.
These websites may collect data about you, which could include personal information and browsing behavior. Additionally, they might use cookies to track your interactions, enabling a more tailored and interactive experience. Embedded content can also include third-party tracking mechanisms, which can monitor various aspects of your engagement with the content, such as the duration of video views or the frequency of interactions with interactive elements.
Furthermore, if you have an account on these external websites and are logged in while interacting with the embedded content on our site, these websites might track and record your interactions in a more detailed manner. This tracking could encompass logging in timestamps, specific content accessed, and the nature of your interactions, providing the external websites with a comprehensive overview of your behavior.
It is essential to review the privacy policies of these external websites to understand their data collection practices and how they handle the information they gather. This awareness ensures that you can make informed decisions about engaging with embedded content and understand the implications for your privacy and data security.
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 who 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 do 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. This includes but is not limited to, your profile information, comment history, and any interactions you have made on our site. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. We will take all reasonable steps to comply with your request as quickly as possible, ensuring that your privacy is maintained.
However, please be aware that this does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes, such as records of your transactions or our responsibility to comply with legal obligations. Your trust is important to us, and we are dedicated to handling your data responsibly.
Where your data is sent?
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service to ensure that irrelevant or harmful content does not appear on the site. This process helps maintain a safe and enjoyable environment for all users by filtering out messages that may contain spam, malicious links, or inappropriate language, thereby protecting the integrity of the community.
