What personal data we collect and why we collect it

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.

Contact forms

We may collect personal information such as your name and email address if you voluntarily submit it through a contact form, comment, or mailing list signup.

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

We use Google Analytics to track website performance. This service may collect your IP address, browser type, and time spent on our site. Please review Google’s Privacy Policy for more information.

Who we share your data with

We do not sell, trade, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes. However, we may use third-party services to help us operate our website, analyze visitor behavior, and communicate with subscribers. These include:

Google Analytics – We use Google Analytics to track website traffic and improve user experience. Google Analytics may collect anonymized data, such as IP addresses, browser type, and interactions with our website. You can learn more about how Google handles data here.

MailChimp – If you subscribe to our newsletter, your email address and related information will be stored and processed by MailChimp for email communication. MailChimp’s privacy policy is available here.

We take privacy seriously and only use trusted third-party services that comply with data protection regulations.

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.
