Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the information submitted in the comment form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist with spam detection.

If you use a Gravatar-linked email address, an anonymized hash of your email may be shared with the Gravatar service to check for an existing profile. Once your comment is approved, your profile image may appear publicly alongside your comment. Gravatar's privacy policy is available at www.automattic.com/privacy.

Media

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

Cookies

We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience and streamline certain site functionalities. These may include:

• Comment cookies : If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are stored for convenience and will last for one year.
• Login cookies : Temporary cookies are used on the login page to check if your browser supports cookies. Upon logging in, we may set cookies to save login status and display preferences. Login cookies are valid for two days (or two weeks if “Remember Me” is selected), and display setting cookies last for one year.
• Publishing cookies : When editing or publishing content, an additional cookie will store the post ID. This cookie contains no personal data and expires after 24 hours.

Embedded Content from Third-Party Sites

Our website may feature embedded content (such as videos, images, or articles) from other websites. This embedded content behaves identically to a visit to the third-party site, which may collect data, use cookies, and monitor your interactions—especially if you are logged into those platforms.

Data Sharing

If you initiate a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email to assist with security verification.

Data Retention

• Comments and related metadata are retained indefinitely to allow for automatic recognition and approval of follow-up comments.
• For registered users, personal information submitted via user profiles is stored securely. Users may view, edit, or delete their data at any time (except usernames). Website administrators also have access to edit or manage user data.

Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account or have left comments on our website, you may request an exported file containing your personal data. You may also request that we delete your personal data. Please note that we may retain certain information as required for legal, administrative, or security purposes.

Data Processing and Security

Visitor comments may be scanned using automated spam detection systems. We prioritize data protection and implement reasonable technical measures to secure the information you share with us.
