Data Collection for Comments

When visitors leave comments on our website, we collect the information provided in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist in spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (hash) may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you have a Gravatar profile.

Media

If you upload images to our website, please ensure that they do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract location data from images on the site.

Cookies

When you leave a comment on our site, you have the option to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience. These cookies are designed to streamline your future interactions and will last for one year.

Additionally, when you log in, temporary cookies are used to determine your cookie preferences, login information, and screen display choices. Login cookies persist for two days, while screen options cookies last for a year. If you choose “Remember Me” during login, your login will persist for two weeks. An additional cookie is saved in your browser if you edit or publish an article, indicating the post ID, and it expires after 1 day.

Embedded Content

Our articles may contain embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles) from other websites. Embedded content behaves similarly to if you had visited the source website directly. These external sites may collect data, use cookies, and employ third-party tracking to monitor your interaction with their content, especially if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Data Sharing

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

Data Retention

Comments and their associated metadata are retained indefinitely to facilitate the automatic approval of follow-up comments, rather than holding them in a moderation queue.

For registered users, we store the personal information provided in their user profiles. Users can access, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, with the exception of their username. Website administrators also have access to and can modify this information.

Your Rights

If you have an account on our site or have left comments, you have the right to request an exported file containing your personal data. You may also request the deletion of your personal data, with the exception of data we are legally obligated to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Data Handling

Visitor comments may undergo automated spam detection to maintain the quality of our services.

We use third-party analytics software to collect and aggregate user data for improving our educational content, enhancing processes, and promoting our services.

For any questions or concerns regarding your privacy or this policy, please feel free to contact us.
