This Privacy Policy is designed to help you understand how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information when you use our website and services.

By accessing or using our website and services, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. Please take a moment to review this Privacy Policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not use our website or services.

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.

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 may 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 our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

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

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

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.

How We Use Your Information
We may use your information for the following purposes:

1. To Provide and Improve Services: We use your information to provide and enhance our website and services, respond to your requests, and improve user experience.
2. Communications: We may use your contact information to send you administrative messages, updates, and marketing communications related to our services. You can opt out of marketing communications at any time.
3. Legal Compliance: We may use your information to comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.

Sharing Your Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. However, we may share your information with third-party service providers and partners who assist us in delivering our services, such as payment processors and hosting providers. We take reasonable steps to ensure that these third parties protect your personal information. If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email.

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.

Security
We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Choices
You can update, correct, or delete your personal information by accessing your account settings. You may also unsubscribe from marketing communications by following the instructions in the emails we send. Please note that even if you opt out of marketing communications, we may still send you important administrative messages.

Children’s Privacy
Our website and services are not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us, and we will take steps to delete the information.

Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. The updated Privacy Policy will be posted on our website with a revised “Last Updated” date. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
