Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect:

  • Data shown in the comments form,

An anonymized string (hash) from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you use it. The Gravatar privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible with your comment.

Media

If you upload images, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site may download and extract this information.

We do not sell or trade your personal data.

Data Retention

  • Comments: Retained indefinitely for spam detection and moderation.

  • Registered users: Personal information in profiles is stored as long as the account exists. Users can edit or delete their data (username cannot be changed). Website administrators can access and manage this information.

  • Request a copy of the data we hold about you.
