💬 Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.
An anonymized string (a hash) created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. You can view Gravatar’s privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once approved, your profile picture may be visible alongside your comment.
🖼️ Media Uploads
If you upload images to the website, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors can download and extract this information from posted images.
🍪 Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience and last for one year.
A temporary cookie is set when visiting our login page to determine if your browser accepts cookies—it contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
Login cookies last for two days. If you select “Remember Me,” your login persists for two weeks.
If you log out, login cookies are removed.
If you edit or publish content, an additional cookie is saved in your browser—it expires after one day and contains no personal data.
🔗 Embedded Content from Other Websites
Pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content behaves the same way as if you visited the source website directly. These sites may collect data, use cookies, and monitor your interaction—especially if you’re logged in to their platform.
🔐 Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security verification.
⏳ How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, both the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely to streamline future comment approvals.
If you register for an account (if applicable), we store the personal information in your profile. You can view, edit, or delete your data at any time—except your username. Website administrators can also access and update this information.
📥 What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you may request an exported file of your personal data we hold. You may also request that we erase any of your data, excluding data we are required to retain for legal, administrative, or security purposes.
🌍 Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be reviewed through an automated spam detection service.
