What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

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. 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.

When posting comments no personal data such as name or email address will be saved for an email list. These emails used to post contacts will also never be sold to any third parties.

Media

This site usually does not accept any pictures when posting any comments.

However, 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.

Contact forms

When using our contact form, none of your data will be stored for any email list. The form will ask for your name and your email address, this information will be used only to reply to the user(you). There will be no other reason to use these emails or names.

Cookies

Embedded content from other websites

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 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.

Analytics

As you use this website, I use an automatic data collection technology (Google Analytics) to collect certain information about your device, browsing actions and patterns. This generally includes information about where you are, how you use our website and other communication between your computer and this site. We will also collect data about the type of computer you use, internet connection, IP address, operating system and browser type.

Collecting this data will be used for statistical purposes and avoid collecting personal data. Collecting this data will help improve this website and what to offer.

You can opt-out of Google Analytics so that none of your personal information is collected or stored by Google Analytics, you can download and install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on here.

Who we share your data with

We do not sell or share any data with anyone. As of right now we do not even have an email list provider so no email will be stored.

How long we retain your data

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.

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.

What rights you have over your data

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

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
