What personal data we collect and why
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help 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 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 avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

When you use our contact forms to reach out, you may be asked to provide certain personal details such as your name, email address, and possibly a phone number. This information is collected with the sole purpose of enabling us to respond to your inquiries, requests, or feedback effectively. We ensure that all information shared through our contact forms is treated with the highest level of confidentiality and is stored securely. Access to this information is strictly limited to authorized personnel who are bound by our privacy policies to safeguard your data. We do not share, sell, or rent your personal information to third parties without your explicit consent, except as required by law or to fulfil a service you have requested. Our privacy practices are designed to provide you with a secure and respectful environment to communicate your needs and concerns.

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.

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 in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Analytics
In our commitment to continuously improve your experience on our website, we employ various analytics tools to gather and analyze data about our visitors’ interactions with our site. These analytics help us understand user behavior, identify patterns, and make informed decisions about how to enhance our services and content. The data collected may include information such as the type of device you use, your operating system, browser type, geographical location, pages visited, session duration, and referral sources.
Please be assured that the information gathered through analytics is aggregated and does not personally identify you. It is used exclusively for the purpose of enhancing website functionality, improving user experience, and tailoring our content to meet our audience’s needs more effectively. Our use of analytics complies with applicable privacy laws and is conducted with the utmost respect for your privacy. We do not share this information with third parties for their promotional purposes. By using our website, you consent to our use of analytics as part of our ongoing effort to provide a better service to all our visitors.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. 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.
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 of the personal data we hold about you, including any data 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 obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
