Information We Collect

We collect two types of information on our Site:

  • Personal Information: This is information that can be used to identify you as an individual. We may collect personal information from you in a few ways, such as:
    • When you leave a comment on a post. This may include your name and email address.
    • When you contact us through a contact form. This may include your name, email address, and the content of your message.
  • Non-Personal Information: This is information that cannot be used to identify you as an individual. We may collect non-personal information automatically through your use of the Site. This may include:
    • Information collected through cookies and other tracking technologies, such as your browser type, operating system, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.
    • Information about your browsing habits on the Site, such as the pages you visit and the links you click.

Comments

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

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called 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 approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Your Choices over comments

You have choices about the information we collect from you. You can:

  • Choose not to leave comments on our Site.
  • Choose not to contact us through our contact form.
  • Opt out of receiving our newsletters by following the unsubscribe instructions in the emails we send you.

Links to Other Websites

Our Site may contain links to other websites that are not operated by us. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any other website. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of other websites that you visit.

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.

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.

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.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

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.

Who we share your data with

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How long 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.

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.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, 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.

  • To operate and maintain the Site.
  • To personalize your experience on the Site.
  • To respond to your comments and inquiries.
  • To improve the content and functionality of the Site.
  • To send you newsletters and other information about our Site (with your consent).
  • To comply with legal and regulatory requirements.

Security

We take reasonable steps to protect the information you provide to us from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, no website or internet transmission is completely secure. We cannot guarantee the security of your information.
