How We Protect Your Privacy on Our Website

Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It

Comments & Reviews:
When you leave a comment or review on our site, we collect the information you provide in the form, along with your IP address and browser details to help prevent spam.

  • If you use Gravatar, an anonymized string (hash) of your email may be sent to their service. You can review their Gravatar Privacy Policy.
  • Once approved, your profile picture (if connected to Gravatar) will appear next to your comment.

Media Uploads:
If you upload images to our website, please avoid including location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors can download and extract that information from posted images.

Contact Forms:
When you reach out to us through our contact form, we collect basic details—your name, email address, and message—so we can respond to your inquiries. We won’t use this information for marketing unless you opt in.

Cookies:
Cookies help improve your browsing experience. Here’s how we use them:

  • Leaving a comment? You can save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. These last for one year.
  • Visiting our login page sets a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie is discarded when you close your browser.
  • Logging in sets cookies that store login info and display preferences. Login cookies last two days (or two weeks if you select “Remember Me”), and display preferences cookies last a year.
  • Editing or publishing content adds a cookie that expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites:
Some articles may contain embedded content (like videos or articles) from other websites. Interacting with this content is the same as visiting those external sites, which may collect data and track your interactions.

Analytics

We use website analytics tools to understand how visitors interact with our site. Any data collected is anonymized and used solely to improve your experience.

Who We Share Your Data With

We don’t sell or rent your personal information. Sometimes, we work with trusted service providers (such as payment processors and website hosts) to keep things running smoothly. These providers only receive the data necessary to perform their services and must keep it confidential.

How Long We Retain Your Data

  • Comments: Once you leave a comment, it and its metadata are stored indefinitely to make follow-up comments faster to approve.
  • Registered Users: If you create an account, we store the details you provide in your profile. You can edit or delete your information anytime (except your username). Site administrators can access and manage this information as well.

Your Rights Over Your Data

You have control over your personal data. If you’ve left comments or created an account, you can:

  • Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Ask us to erase your data, except where we’re required to keep it for legal, administrative, or security purposes.

Where We Send Your Data

Comments may be checked through automated spam detection tools. We may also use third-party services to process payments and improve site functionality while keeping your data secure.
