Comments
When visitors leave comments on this site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string for spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should not upload images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you can opt-in to saving 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 you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies will last for two days, and screen options cookies will last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out, the login cookies will be cleared.

Embedded content from other websites
Posts on this site contain embedded content (e.g. videos, images, posts, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor had visited the other website.
These sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor the embedded content.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we store the personal information they provide on their user profile page. 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.
Your rights over your data
If you have an account on this site and have left comments on the site, you can request that we receive as a public file the personal data we hold about you (including any data you have provided). You can also request that your personal data be erased.
Where your data is sent
Comments by visitors may be subject to an automated spam detection service called Child Check.
