Personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

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 user agent string to help detect spam.

An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service if you use it. The privacy policy page can be found here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you are a registered user and upload images to the site, you should avoid uploading images with EXIF GPS location data. Visitors to the website can download the images from the website and view the location data.

Cookies

When you leave a comment on our site, you can indicate whether we may store your name, email address and website in a cookie. We do this for your convenience so that you do not have to re-enter this information for a new comment. These cookies are valid for one year.

If you have an account and log in to this site, we will store a temporary cookie to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded as soon as you close your browser.

Once you log in, we will store some cookies related to your login information and screen display options. Login cookies are valid for 2 days and cookies for screen display options are valid for 1 year. If you select ‘Remember me’, your login will be stored for 2 weeks. Once you log out of your account, login cookies will be deleted.

When you edit or publish a post, an additional cookie is stored by your browser. This cookie does not contain any personal data and only contains the post ID of the article you have edited. This cookie expires after one day.

Embedded content from other websites

Posts on this site may display embedded content (e.g. videos, images, posts). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if the visitor had visited that other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with this embedded content, including interaction with embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Analytics

The data we collect about visits is collected for internal use only and is not made available to third parties.

Who we share your data with

We do not share data with third parties.

How long we retain your data

When you leave a comment, that comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognise and approve follow-up comments instead of having to moderate them.

For users who are registered on our website (if applicable), we also store personal information in their user profile. All users can view, change or delete their personal information at any time (the username cannot be changed). Website administrators can also view and change 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 export file of your personal data that we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we delete any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data that we are required to retain for administrative, legal or security purposes.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
