What personal data is collected and why

Comments

When you leave a comment on this site, WordPress collects the data shown in the comments form, and also your 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 online also. 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 this website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Any visitor to this website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Contact forms

Any information submitted through the contact form on this site is emailed to the site administrator.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on this site, you may opt-in to WordPress 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 have an account, and you login to this site, WordPress 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 login, WordPress 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 on this site, 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, posts, and pages 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 you had 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 your data is shared with

Analytics

WordPress does not share your personal information with third parties. Only aggregated, anonymized data is periodically transmitted to external services to help improve the website and service. This site uses Google Analytics to track the users’ use of this site. Learn more about Google’s privacy policies here.

Where else your data is sent

Site comments and form submissions may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

How long your data is retained

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so WordPress can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. If you register on any WordPress website, WordPress also stores the personal information you provide in your user profile. All WordPress users can see, edit, or delete their own personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit the information for users registered to their websites.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this (or any) WordPress site, or have left comments on any WordPress site, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data WordPress holds about you, including any data you have provided. You can also request that WordPress erase any personal data they hold about you. This does not include any data WordPress is obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

User Agreement

By accessing this site, you consent to the collection and use of personal data by WordPress as outlined above.
