Comments

Recommended text: When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser User-Agent string to help detect spam.

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. After approval of your comment, your profile picture will be publicly visible next to your comment.

Embedded content from other websites

Recommended text: Articles on this site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you had visited the other website directly.

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 with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Recommended Text: If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the password reset email.

How Long Do We Retain Your Information?

Recommended Text: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. We do this so we can recognize and automatically approve any subsequent comments, rather than holding them in a review queue.

For registered users of this website, we also store the personal information they provide in their profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username); site administrators can also view and edit that information.

What Rights Do You Have Regarding Your Information?

Recommended Text: If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request 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 all personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
