comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comment form, in addition to the visitor`s IP address and browser data, to assist in the detection of spam.

An anonymized string of characters created from your email (also called a hash) can be sent to Gravatar to verify that you use the service. Gravatar`s privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile photo is publicly visible next to your comment.

With whom we share your data
How long do we keep your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. We do this so that it is possible to automatically recognize and approve any subsequent comments rather than retaining them for moderation.

For users who register on our site (if any), we also store the personal information you provide in your user profile. All users can view, edit or delete their personal information at any time (it is just not possible to change their username). Site administrators can also view and edit this information.

What are your rights over your data

If you have an account on this site or if you have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we keep about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we remove any personal data that we hold about you. This does not include any data that we are required to keep for administrative, legal or security purposes.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments can be marked by an automatic spam detection service.
