Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
Media
If you upload images to our website, we advise you to 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.
Cookies
Our website uses cookies to enhance your browsing experience. These cookies may collect personal information such as your IP address, browser type, and browsing patterns. You have the option to disable cookies in your browser settings, but please note that this may affect the functionality of our website.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.) from other websites. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
Who We Share Your Data With
We do not share your data with third parties unless required by law or with your explicit consent. We may share anonymized and aggregated data for statistical analysis and business purposes.
How Long Do We Retain Your Data
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.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on our website or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where Your Data is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Your data may be stored and processed in countries outside of your own.
By using our website, you consent to the collection, use, and storage of your personal information as described in this privacy policy. We regularly review and update our practices to ensure the highest level of data protection.
