What Personal Data We Collect and Why

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the information displayed in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser details to help detect spam.

An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you use it. The Gravatar service privacy policy can be found here. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public alongside your comment.

Media

If you upload images to our website, please ensure they do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as other visitors may download and extract that information.
