Comments:

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent to help with spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (a “hash”) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes publicly visible in the comment section.

If you upload images to our website, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract location data from images on the site.

4. Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you visited the other site directly. These third-party sites may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interaction if you’re logged into their platforms.

• Legal Requirements: We may disclose your data if required by law.
• Spam Detection: Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

7. How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, it and its metadata are retained indefinitely to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.

For users who register on our site (if applicable), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. Users can edit or delete their information at any time (except for their username). Website administrators can also manage user data.

8. Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You may also request that we erase any personal data we hold. However, this does not include data we must retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
