What personal data we collect and why we collect it

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comment form plus the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

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

Media

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

Contact forms

We may retain indefinitely the information you submit through our contact form, but we will not share that information with anyone or use it for marketing purposes.

Newsletter subscriptions

If you have subscribed to our newsletter, or if you are a member of our website (you can log in), or if you have purchased on our website, there is a good chance you will receive emails from us.

We will only send you emails that you have signed up to receive or that pertain to the services we provided to you. We do not share your email address, name, or any other personally identifiable information you supply in signing up with anyone.

To send you emails, we use the name and email address you provide us. To prevent abuse of the system, our site also logs the IP address you used when you signed up for the service.

This website sends newsletter emails through the MailPoet sending service. This service allows us to track opens and clicks on our newsletter emails. We use this information to improve the content of our newsletters. No other identifiable information is tracked outside this website.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, your name, email address and website address may be saved on your computer 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.

If you have an account with us and you log in to our site, we will set a temporary cookie on your computer 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 on your computer to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember me,” your login cookies will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article on our site, an additional cookie will be saved on your computer. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded content from other websites

Pages on our site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.) from other websites. Embedded content behaves in the exact same way as if visitors visit the other websites.

Those other websites may collect data about you, use cookies, employ additional third-party tracking and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account with and are logged in to those websites.

Who we share your data with

We do not share your personal data with anyone.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment on our site, 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.

If a visitor registers on our site, we store the personal information the visitor provides in his or her user profile. All registered users can see, edit or delete their personal information at any time, except they cannot change their username. Our site administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on our site, or have left comments, you can request 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.
