Information We Collect:
Comments: When you leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with your IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address 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.
Media: If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
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. When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
Embedded Content: 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 tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
How We Use Your Information:
General Use: We use the information we collect to operate and maintain our website and services. This includes using your data to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
SMS and Messaging Services: For our SMS and messaging services, we adhere to the following principles:
Protection of Mobile Information: No mobile information will be used for marketing/promotional purposes outside of our services. We may use subcontractors in support services, such as customer service, to assist in providing our services. All other use case categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will be kept confidential.
How We Manage Your Data:
General Management: If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
Service Providers: We may use service providers to assist in providing our services, such as customer service support. These providers are bound by confidentiality agreements and are not permitted to use your information for any other purpose.
How Long We Retain Your Data:
Comments: 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.
User Accounts: 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.
