2. What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It

We collect certain personal data to provide and improve our services, ensure the security of our website, and interact with our visitors.

a) Comments

When you leave a comment on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, including your name, email address, and website (if provided). We also collect your IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (a “hash”) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

  • Legal Basis for Processing: Legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) to engage with our readers and prevent spam.

b) Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

c) Cookies

Our website uses cookies to enhance your experience.

  • Comment Cookies: If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
  • Login Cookies: If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser. When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

  • Legal Basis for Processing: Consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR) for non-essential cookies and legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) for essential cookies that ensure the basic functionality of the website.

d) Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third-party websites.

3. Who We Share Your Data With

We value your privacy and limit the sharing of your data.

  • Password Resets: If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
  • Spam Detection: Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. This may involve transferring the comment data, your IP address, and browser user agent to a third-party service located within or outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

4. How Long We Retain Your Data

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected.

  • Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
  • Registered Users: For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
