When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data submitted in the comment form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This information helps us detect and prevent spam.

An anonymized hash of your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. You can view the Gravatar privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture (if applicable) may appear publicly alongside your comment.

If you upload images to the website, please ensure they do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Other visitors may be able to download and extract such information from uploaded images

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves the same as if you visited the other site directly.

These third-party sites may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interaction with their content — especially if you are logged into their platform.

If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the password reset email to ensure the security of your account.

• Comments and their metadata are stored indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and automatically approve follow-up comments.
• For registered users, we store the personal information provided in their user profiles. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal data at any time (except their username). Website administrators can also access and modify that information.

If you have an account on our website or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You may also request the erasure of your personal data, excluding data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
