Privacy Policy

Please read our website’s Privacy Policy!

We take your privacy seriously and want you to know how we handle your information. Here’s a breakdown of what we collect and why:

Comments: When you leave a comment on our site, we collect the data you provide, including your IP address and browser user agent string. This information helps us detect spam. If you provide your email address, it will be hashed and sent to Gravatar to see if you have a profile picture. If your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public.

Media: If you upload images to our site, please avoid embedding location data (EXIF GPS) as visitors can download and extract this information.

Cookies: When you leave a comment, you have the option to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is to save you time when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.

Embedded Content: Our articles may contain embedded content from other websites, which behave the same as if you were visiting those sites directly. These sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their content.

Third-Party Code: We use third-party code on our site from Jetpack, Cloudflare, Google, and WordPress. They may collect your location information to determine if you’re a bot or human, and Google Analytics may log a cookie to see if you’re a new or returning user.

Data Retention: We retain your comments and metadata indefinitely to automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments.

Your Rights: If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you or ask us to erase any personal data we have. However, we cannot erase data we’re required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Spam Detection: We use an automated spam detection service to check visitor comments.

Thank you for reading our Privacy Policy. If you have any questions, please contact us.
