Comments
When visitors leave comments on our website, we collect the information shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This information helps us protect the site and prevent spam so genuine conversations can happen safely.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be shared with the Gravatar service to determine whether you use it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture may be visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to our website, we recommend avoiding images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site may be able to download and extract location data from images, and we want you to feel secure when sharing content with us.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies exist purely for your convenience, allowing you to comment again without re-entering your details. They remain active for one year.
When you visit our login page, a temporary cookie may be set to check whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal information and is removed when you close your browser.
If you log into your account, we use cookies to remember your login details and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen option cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will stay active for two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.
If you edit or publish content on the site, an additional cookie may be saved. This cookie contains no personal data and simply identifies the post you edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Some pages on this site may include embedded content, such as videos, images, or articles. Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if you visited that website directly.
These external sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that content, especially if you are logged into their platform. We encourage you to review their privacy policies for complete transparency.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email to help protect your account and maintain security.
How Long We Retain Your Data
When you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them for moderation.
For users who register on our website, we store the personal information provided in their user profile. All users can view, update, or delete their personal information at any time, except for their username. Website administrators may also access and edit this information when necessary.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You may also request that we erase your personal data at any time.
This does not include data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes. We believe in empowering users with control and clarity over their information.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service to protect our site and ensure a safe, trustworthy experience for everyone.
