Personal data this website collects and why it happens

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site I 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) might be sent 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 can 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 my login page, a temporary cookie is set – to find out if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data. It’s discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, there will also be several cookies set up to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days. Screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will last for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an extra cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data. It only shows the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site might include embedded content. For example, videos, images, tweets and articles. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you visited the other website.

These websites might:

  • collect data about you,
  • use cookies
  • embed other third-party tracking
  • monitor how you interact with that embedded content. This includes if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

How long your data is kept

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are never deleted. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically. That’s instead of keeping them in a moderation queue.

If you register on this website, it also stores any personal information you put provide in your user profile.

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time. They can’t change their username though. Website administrators can also see and edit this 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, including any data you have shared here. You can also ask me to erase any personal data. This doesn’t include any data we are have to keep for administrative, legal, or security reasons.

Where your data might get sent

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