What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It

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

An anonymised string (also known as a hash) generated from your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy can be found here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes publicly visible alongside your comment.

Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images hosted on the site.

Contact Forms
We collect any information you submit via our contact forms for customer service and communication purposes.

Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience so that you don’t need to fill in your details again for future comments. These cookies will remain valid for one year.

If you have an account and log in to our site, we will create a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain any personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.

When you log in, we also set several cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. When you log out, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply stores the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if the visitor has directly visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your interactions if you have an account and are logged into that website.

Analytics
We may use analytics services to track and report on site activity.

Who We Share Your Data With

We do not share your personal data with third parties unless it is necessary to provide you with our services or is required by law.

How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, both the comment and its associated metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically rather than holding them for moderation.

For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information they provide in their user 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 this information.

What Rights 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 containing the personal data we hold about you, including any information you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where We Send Your Data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
