Commenting

When users submit comments on our platform, we collect information from the comment form, as well as the user’s IP address and browser user agent string for spam prevention purposes.

We may provide an anonymized string derived from your email address (referred to as a hash) to the Gravatar service to check if you have an account with them. Gravatar’s privacy policy can be found here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public alongside your comment.

Multimedia

When uploading images to our platform, avoid including location information (EXIF GPS data) within the images. Other users can download and extract location data from images on the platform.

Cookie Usage

If you choose to leave a comment, you can opt to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience, so you don’t have to re-enter your details when submitting another comment. These cookies are stored for one year.

Upon visiting our login page, we’ll set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie doesn’t store personal information and is deleted when you close your browser.

When logging in, we’ll create multiple cookies to save your login details and screen display preferences. Login cookies are stored for two days, and screen options cookies for a year. If you choose “Remember Me,” your login will be maintained for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.

Editing or publishing an article results in an additional cookie saved in your browser, containing no personal data, only indicating the post ID of the article you modified. This cookie expires after one day.

Embedded Content from External Sites

Our site may feature embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.) from other websites. This content behaves as if you were visiting the external site directly.

These external sites might gather data about you, use cookies, incorporate additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content. This could include tracking your engagement with the content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Data Sharing

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

Data Retention Duration

Comments and their associated metadata are stored indefinitely, allowing us to automatically recognize and approve subsequent comments without needing to hold them for moderation.

For users who register on our site (if applicable), we retain the personal information provided in their user profiles. Users can view, modify, or delete their personal data at any time (although they cannot change their usernames). Website administrators can also access and edit this information.

Data Control Rights

If you have an account or have left comments on our site, you can request an exported file containing the personal data we possess about you, including any information you have given us. You can also request that we delete any personal data we have about you. This does not encompass data we must retain for administrative, legal, or security reasons.

Data Transfer

We may utilize an automated spam detection service to examine visitor comments.
