Privacy Policy
Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you use our website.
Information We Collect
When you visit our website, we may collect information such as your name, email address, IP address, and browser type. This helps us provide a better user experience and improve our services.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check for your profile picture. Your profile picture will be visible publicly alongside your comment once approved.
Media
If you upload images to the site, avoid including location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download images and potentially extract this information.
Cookies
We use cookies to enhance your experience. For example, when you leave a comment, cookies may save your name and email to avoid retyping on future comments. Login cookies may persist if you select “Remember Me.” All cookies are temporary and can be deleted from your browser.
Embedded Content
Articles may include embedded content (videos, images, articles) from other websites. These sites may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interactions with embedded content if you have an account with them.
How We Use Your Data
We use collected data to improve our services, respond to inquiries, manage user accounts, and prevent spam or abuse. Your data is never sold to third parties.
Data Retention
Comments and associated metadata are retained indefinitely to manage follow-up comments. Registered users’ data is stored in their profile and can be viewed or edited by them and administrators.
Your Rights
You can request access to the personal data we hold about you or request deletion. Certain data may be retained for legal, administrative, or security reasons.
Third-Party Services
We may use automated spam detection or analytics services. These services may process your data according to their own privacy policies.
