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.

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.

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 if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

We take your privacy seriously and do not sell your personal information to third parties. However, we may share your data with trusted third parties in the following circumstances:

Service Providers: We may share your information with third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as hosting providers, email delivery services, and customer support. These providers are only given access to the information necessary to perform their specific services and are required to protect your data and only use it for the purposes specified by us.

Analytics: We use third-party analytics services to help us understand how users interact with our website. These services may collect information about your use of the site, including your IP address and other usage data.

Compliance with Laws: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or government agency).

Business Transfers: If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your personal information may be transferred. We will provide notice before your personal data is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

Consent: We may share your information with third parties if you have given us your explicit consent to do so.

Protecting Our Rights: We may disclose your information to enforce our terms and conditions or to protect our operations, users, or legal rights.

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

Your data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside of your own, including the United States, where our website is hosted. The United States may not provide the same level of data protection as your home country. We take steps to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy, regardless of where it is processed. Specifically:

Automated Spam Detection: Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. This process may involve sending your data to external servers for analysis.

Third-Party Service Providers: As mentioned in the “Who We Share Your Data With” section, we use third-party service providers to perform services on our behalf. These providers may be located in different countries, including the United States. We ensure that these providers adhere to strict data protection standards and that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal information.

Data Storage: Your data is stored on servers located in the United States, where we and our service providers operate. We use secure data storage solutions that comply with applicable data protection laws.

International Transfers: When we transfer your data outside of your country, we do so in accordance with applicable data protection laws. This may include using standard contractual clauses approved by relevant regulatory authorities or other appropriate legal mechanisms to ensure your data is adequately protected.

Compliance and Legal Requests: If required by law, we may transfer your data to government authorities or regulatory bodies in the United States. Such transfers will only occur when legally mandated and with adequate protection measures in place.

We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your data is handled securely. If you have any concerns about how your data is transferred or processed, please contact us for more information.
