Comments
Suggested text: When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser data, to help detect spam.
An anonymized string of characters created from your email (also called a hash) may be sent to Gravatar to verify that you use the service. Gravatar’s privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment has been approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible next to your comment.
Media
Suggested text: If you upload images to the site, avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download these images from the site and extract their location data from them.
Cookies
Suggested text: When you leave a comment on the site, you can choose to have your name, e-mail address and website saved in cookies. This is for your convenience, so you don’t have to fill in your details again when you make another comment. These cookies last for one year.
If you have an account and access this site, a temporary cookie will be created to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. It does not contain any personal data and will be discarded when you close your browser.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the password reset email.
How long we keep your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. We do this so that we can automatically recognize and approve any subsequent comments rather than retaining them for moderation.
For users who register on our site (if any), 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 (only their username cannot be changed). Site administrators can also view and edit this information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request 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 remove any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data that we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be flagged by an automatic spam detection service.
