What personal data we collect and
why we collect it
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we
collect the data shown in the comments form, the visitor’s IP address, and
browser user agent string for the purposes of 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.
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 have an account and you log in to this
site, 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 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.

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.

rules as the contexts in which the activity items are created. For example,
activity updates created in a user's profile is publicly visible, while
activity items generated in a private group are visible only to members of that
group. Site administrators can view all activity items, regardless of context.
Activity items may be deleted at
any time by users who created them. Site administrators can edit all activity
items.
