Comments

When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser details to help detect spam.

If you use Gravatar, an anonymized hash of your email may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you have an associated profile. Once your comment is approved, your Gravatar profile picture will be publicly visible alongside your comment. You can review Gravatar’s privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.

  • If you request a password reset, your IP address is included in the reset email.
  • Visitor comments may be processed through an automated spam detection service.

How Long We Retain Your Data

  • If you leave a comment, both the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve future comments automatically.
  • If you register for an account, we store the personal information provided in your user profile. You can view, edit, or delete your personal data at any time (except your username). Website administrators can also manage this data.

Your Rights Over Your Data

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

  • An exported file of the personal data we hold about you.

This does not include data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security reasons.
