We collect data from visitors who leave comments on the site, as well as their IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.

The Gravatar service may ask for an anonymized string created from your email address (a hash). Visit https://automattic.com/privacy/ for the Gravatar privacy statement. After approval, the public sees your profile picture in the context of your comment.

Uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) is prohibited. Website visitors can download and extract location data from images.

Cookies

To save your name, email address, and website in cookies, simply leave a comment on our site. These are for your convenience so you don’t have to re-enter your details every time you comment. This batch will last a year.

We use a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. That’s why it’s called a session cookie.

When you log in, we’ll set up cookies to save your login info and screen display preferences. It is possible to set screen options cookies for a year. You can log in for two weeks if you choose “Remember Me”. The login cookies are deleted when you log out.

If you edit or publish an article, your browser saves another cookie. This cookie contains no personal data and simply displays the article’s post ID. It lasts 1 day.

Other websites’ content

Content embedded in articles on this site (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). If a visitor visits another website, the embedded content behaves exactly like that.

If you have an account and are logged into that website, these websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and track your interactions with embedded content.

Who gets your data

If you request a password reset, the email will include your IP address.

How long do we keep data?

If you leave a comment, it is retained indefinitely. So we can automatically approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them in moderation.

Users who register on our website have their personal information stored in their user profiles. Any user can see, edit, or delete their personal data (except they cannot change their username). Administrators can view and edit this data.

What are your data rights?

You can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also ask us to delete your personal data. No data we must keep for administrative, legal, or security reasons.
