What personal data do we collect and why

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comment form, in addition to the visitor’s IP address and browser data, to aid in detecting spam.

An anonymized string created from your email (also called a hash) can be sent to Gravatar to verify that you use the service. Gravatar’s privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture is publicly visible next to your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the site, avoid uploading those that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download these images from the website and extract their location data from them.

Cookies

By leaving a comment on the website, you can choose to save your name, email and website in cookies. This is for your comfort, so you won’t have to fill in your details again when you make another comment. These cookies last for a year.

If you have an account and access this website, a temporary cookie will be created to determine if your browser accepts cookies. It does not contain any personal data and will be discarded when you close your browser.

When you log into your account on the website, we also create various cookies to save your account details and your screen display choices. Login cookies are kept for two days and screen options cookies for one year. If you select “Remember me”, your access will be kept for two weeks. If you log out of your account, login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or post an article, an additional cookie will be saved on your browser. This cookie does not include any personal data and simply indicates the post ID for the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded media from other sites

Articles on this site may include embedded content such as videos, images, articles, etc. Embedded content from other websites behaves in exactly the same way as if the visitor were visiting the other website.

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

Reviews

Who we share your data with and How long do we keep your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are kept indefinitely. We do this so that you can automatically recognize and approve any subsequent comments rather than retaining them for moderation.

For users who register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information you provide in your user profile. All users can view, edit or delete their personal information at any time (it’s just not possible to change your username). Site administrators can also view and edit this information.

What are your rights to your data

If you have an account on this site or if you 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 may also request that we remove any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data that we are required to keep for administrative, legal or security purposes.

Where do we send your data

Guest comments can be flagged by an automatic spam detection service.
