Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comment form, the visitor’s IP address, and the browser user agent to help detect spam.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service if you use it. You can find the Gravatar service privacy policy page here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible in the context of your comment.

Media

If you are a registered user and upload images to the site, you should avoid uploading images with embedded EXIF GPS location data. Visitors to the site can download the images and view the location data.

Posts on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, posts, etc.). Embedded content from other sites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor had visited the other site.

These sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including capturing interactions with embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that site.

How Long We Retain Your Data

When you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This way, we can automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments instead of moderating them.

For users who register on our site (if applicable), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Site administrators can also view and edit this information.
