Who We Are

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.
Cookies
If you post a remark on our website you may 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.
We will also setup various cookies to save your login information and screen display options when you log in. Whereas screen settings cookies last a year, login cookies only last two days. Should you chose “Remember Me,” your login will last two weeks. Logging off from your account will cause the login cookies to be deleted.
Should you update or publish an article, your browser will save an extra cookie. This cookie merely shows the post ID of the article you just changed and contains no personal information. It runs one day.
Embedded material from several websites.
Articles on this page might have embedded content—that is, videos, pictures, stories, etc. Embedded content from other websites acts exactly as if the visitor had visited the other website.
If you have an account and are logged in to that website, these websites could gather data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and track your engagement with that embedded material.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
For what duration we save 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.
We also save the personal data users (if any) supply in their user profile on our website. Except they cannot change their username, all users can read, amend, or remove their personal information at any time. Furthermore visible and editable by website managers is that information.
Over your data, what rights exist?
Should you have an account on our website or have written comments, you may ask to have an exported file of the personal information we have on you sent to you. You may also ask us to delete any personal information we have on you. This excludes any data we must retain for security, legal, or administrative needs.
