1. What Personal Data We Collect and Why

Comments

When visitors 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 detect and prevent spam.

If you use the Gravatar service, an anonymized hash of your email may be shared with them to display your profile picture. 

If you upload images, please avoid including location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract this data from posted images.

Cookies

  • When you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. These last for one year.

  • When you log in, we use temporary cookies to check browser compatibility. These are deleted when you close your browser.

  • Login cookies last for two days (or two weeks if you select “Remember Me”). Screen preferences are saved for a year.

  • Editing or publishing an article creates a cookie that stores the post ID—this expires in one day.

Embedded Content

Articles may include embedded content (e.g., videos, articles, or images) from other websites, which may collect data, use cookies, or monitor interactions—just as if you visited those sites directly.

2. Data Retention

  • Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely to recognize and auto-approve future comments.

  • Registered users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except usernames). Admins can also access and edit this data.

3. Your Data Rights

If you have an account or have left comments, you may request:

  • An exported file of your personal data;

  • That we erase your personal data, except for any required by law for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

4. Where Your Data Goes

Visitor comments may be checked through automated spam detection tools.

5. How We Protect Your Data

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information:

  • Sensitive data like credit card information is encrypted with SSL and AES-256.

  • We comply with PCI-DSS standards and apply additional best practices to ensure data safety.

6. Disclosures and Third-Party Services

We may disclose personal data if required by law or if you violate our Terms of Service.

Our payment processors and third-party service providers only collect the data necessary to provide their services. Be aware that your data may be subject to laws in the provider’s location (e.g., U.S. Patriot Act if processed in the U.S.).

Once you leave our site or are redirected to a third-party platform, this privacy policy no longer applies.

7. Links to Other Websites

Our site may contain links that take you to other websites. We’re not responsible for their privacy practices and encourage you to review their policies.

8. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand visitor behavior and improve our website experience.

9. Age of Consent

By using this site, you confirm that you are of legal age in your state or province, or you have given permission for any minor dependents to use this site under your supervision.

10. Changes to This Policy

We reserve the right to update our privacy policy at any time. Updates take effect immediately upon posting. If we make significant changes, we’ll notify users on this page.

In the event of a company acquisition or merger, your information may be transferred to the new entity to continue providing you with products and services.
