What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data displayed in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and the user-agent string (which identifies the browser) to help spam detection.
An anonymized string (also called a hash) can be created from your email address and passed to the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. The privacy policy of the Gravatar service can be found here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible in the context of your comment.

Who we share your data with
How long we keep your data
If you write a comment, it will be stored indefinitely, including metadata. This allows us to automatically detect and approve follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website, we additionally store the personal information they provide in their user profiles. All users can view, modify or delete their personal information at any time (the username cannot be changed). Administrators of the website can also view and change this information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this website or have left comments, you can request an export of your personal data from us, including any data you have provided to us. In addition, you can request the deletion of any personal data we hold about you. This does not include data that we are required to retain due to administrative, legal or security needs.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be examined by an automated spam detection service.
