What Personal Data We Collect and Why

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.

An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you use it. You can review the Gravatar service privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public alongside your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract location data from images on the site.

Cookies

If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This convenience allows you to avoid re-entering details when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.

If you have an account and log in to this site, a temporary cookie will determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, additional cookies save your login details and screen preferences. Login cookies last two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.

If you edit or publish an article, another cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie, containing no personal data, indicates the post ID of the edited article 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 behaves as if you visited the external website directly.

These websites may collect data, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interactions, especially if you are logged in to their platform.

How Long We Retain Your Data

Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.

For users who register, we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except their username). Website administrators can also access and edit this data.

Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account or left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold, including any data provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data, except for information retained for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where We Send Your Data

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

Additional Information

How We Protect Your Data

We implement industry-standard practices to ensure your personal information is not lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed.

Credit card information is encrypted using SSL and stored with AES-256 encryption. While no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, we follow PCI-DSS requirements and apply additional security standards.

Industry Regulatory Disclosure

We may disclose your information if required by law or if you violate our Terms of Service.

Third-Party Data

Some third-party providers, such as payment gateways, have their privacy policies regarding the information we provide for transactions. We encourage you to review their privacy policies to understand how your data is managed.

When working with third-party providers in other jurisdictions, your data may be subject to local laws. For instance, if you’re in Canada and a payment gateway in the U.S. processes your transaction, your data may be subject to U.S. regulations, such as the Patriot Act.

Once you leave our site or are redirected to a third-party website, our Privacy Policy no longer applies.
