Privacy Policy

To make everything GDPR compliant

Who are we?

Comments

When you leave a comment on our site we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as your 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 will be publicly visible in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, we advise you to avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, 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 enter this information again when you leave another comment. These cookies expire after one year.
If you visit the login page, a temporary cookie will be set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted automatically when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will set several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices.
Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login cookie will be stored for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookie will be deleted.
By editing or publishing a post, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie does not include any personal data. It simply indicates the ID of the post you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other sites

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 third-party tracking tools, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Use and transmission of your personal data

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

Storage durations of your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who 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.

The 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.

Transmission of your personal data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

LightSpeed Cache

This site uses caching to facilitate faster response times and a better user experience. Caching potentially stores a copy of every web page displayed on this site. All cache files are temporary and are never accessible to a third party, except as needed to obtain technical support from the cache extension provider. Cache files expire according to a schedule set by the site administrator, but can easily be purged by the administrator before their natural expiration, if necessary. Please see https://quic.cloud/privacy-policy/ for more details.
