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.
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. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

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.

We also may use social media pixels to aid in visitor tracking to websites external to our own. The purpose of this is to optimize advertising and marketing while visiting the social media site.
Data collection for the purposes of analytics and advertising
When you use our website, there may be automated collection of data by third parties such as Google Analytics and Google Ads. Information includes your computer equipment type, your location, IP address, demographic information, operating system, browsing behavior, navigation through our website, and other communications between your communication device and our website.
Such automatically collected information is exclusively used for our own statistical analysis to aid in marketing, advertising, and website improvement. No automatically collected information for the purposes of analytics and advertising will be of personal nature; however, it is acknowledged that you as the user may voluntarily submit your personal information manually in contact forms, comments, the community forum, and other such entry points.
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.
We do not control third party tracking. If you need to know more about how third parties use your information contact these parties to find out more.
We have an email contact form. If you email us directly, we reserve the right to keep the email messages, your contact name, and contact email address as well as any following responses from us. This electronic communication is protected to the best of our ability. You may also have to submit your email address and name when you sign up for a comment or forum submission.
If you choose to subscribe to our newsletter, we will ensure that your email will remain confidential. Newsletter emails have an "unsubscribe" link that can be used to unsubscribe your email at any time.
Who we share your data with
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.

Such registrations may occur when using contact forms, the community forum, comments forms, or other such interactive website elements. 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. All emails and personal information will never be sold or intentionally shared to anyone.
What rights you have over your data
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, 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.
