Comments
Suggested text: When users post comments on the site, we gather the information provided in the comments form as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to aid in spam identification.
An anonymized string derived from your email address (also known as a hash) may be transmitted to the Gravatar service to determine whether or not you are using it. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy can be found at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Your profile image is shown to the public in the context of your comment after it has been approved.
Media
Suggested text: When adding photographs to the website, avoid including images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from the website’s photographs.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you can choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so you don’t have to fill out your information again when you write another remark. These cookies will be good for a year.
When you visit our login page, we will place a temporary cookie to see if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie includes no personally identifiable information and is deleted when you exit your browser.
We will also set up many cookies when you log in to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies are only valid for two days, but screen options cookies are valid for a year. If you choose “Remember Me,” your login will be saved for two weeks. When you log out of your account, the login cookies are deleted.
An additional cookie will be saved in your browser whenever you update or publish an article. This cookie contains no personally identifiable information and only provides the post ID of the article you just updated. It has a one-day expiration date.
Other websites’ material has been embedded.
Suggested text: This site’s articles may contain embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites operates exactly like if the visitor had visited the other website.
These websites may gather information about you, use cookies, embed extra third-party monitoring, and monitor your engagement with embedded material, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your information with
Text to be used: If you request a password reset, the reset email will include your IP address.
How long will we keep your data?
Suggested text: When you leave a remark, both the comment and its metadata are saved eternally. This allows us to automatically recognize and accept any follow-up comments rather than holding them in a moderation queue.
We also retain the personal information provided by users who register on our website (if any) in their user profile. All users have the ability to view, modify, or remove their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Administrators of the website can also view and update that information.
What rights do you have in relation to your data?
Suggested text: If you have an account on this site or have posted comments, you can ask for an export file of the personal data we have on file for you, including any data you have contributed to us. You can also ask us to delete any personal information we have on file for you. This excludes any data that we are required to store for administrative, legal, or security reasons.
