2. 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, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
Contact Forms
If you contact us through a form on this website, we collect your name, email address, and any information you provide in the message. This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not use this information for marketing purposes unless you explicitly opt-in.
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.
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.
Analytics
We may use third-party Service Providers (such as Google Analytics) to monitor and analyze the use of our Service. These providers use cookies to track website traffic and usage patterns.
3. Who we share your data with
We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties. We only share data with third-party processors (like web hosting providers or email service providers) who are necessary to run the website and who are also GDPR compliant.
4. 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.
5. What rights you have over your data
Under the GDPR, you have the following rights:
- The right to access: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- The right to rectification: You can request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate.
- The right to erasure: You can request that we erase your personal data under certain conditions.
- The right to restrict processing: You can object to the processing of your data.
- The right to data portability: You can request that we transfer the data we have collected to another organization.
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. 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.
